2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ71 AFA

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-02 MOT at 18,435 miles. The prior 2024-09-12 test at 14,403 miles also showed no issues, confirming consistent compliance over 4,032 miles of use. No advisories or failures indicate the car has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear. The mileage profile reflects low annual usage, averaging 3,687 miles per year since 2021. A 4,032-mile increase between 2024 and 2025 suggests intermittent operation, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The two MOT entries are spaced 12 months apart, with no intermediate tests, limiting insight into potential gradual degradation. This sparse record does not reveal recurring faults but warrants caution regarding long-term inactivity effects. A buyer should inspect for signs of age-related deterioration despite the clean MOT history. Focus on the suspension system, as low mileage may mask wear in bushes or coil springs, and check brake components for corrosion or binding, which can occur during prolonged storage. The exhaust system and body structure should also be evaluated for rust, as infrequent use increases vulnerability to environmental damage. No specific issues were flagged, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase scrutiny.
