2021 TOYOTA YARIS DESIGN HEV CVT1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 24 March 2026 at 76,095 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just six days prior at 76,094 miles. While the record shows no specific defects, the immediate rectification suggests a minor component replacement occurred, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was addressed instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,200 miles per year. Between September 2024 at 52,845 miles and September 2025 at 70,044 miles, the car covered 17,200 miles in just twelve months. This acceleration continued with another 6,000 miles recorded by March 2026. Such high-mileage places significant demand on wear-and-tear items and suspension components compared to average-use city examples. Given the high mileage and the hybrid powertrain, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-frequency use. Although the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion, the mileage justifies a close check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for premature wear. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for thinning or pitting, as high-mileage hybrids can sometimes experience uneven pad wear if regenerative braking is inconsistent. The battery health and CVT fluid should also be verified to ensure the high annual mileage has not stressed the hybrid system beyond its design parameters.
