TOYOTA YARIS ICON HYBRID VVT-I CVT2016 · 1.5L Electric

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history across the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 76,396 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained streak of perfect passes suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a failure at the testing centre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban hybrid vehicle, averaging approximately 7,640 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 39,992 miles and the 2024 test at 63,272 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, showing a slight increase in usage during that specific period. However, the total mileage remains well under 80,000 miles for a ten-year-old Yaris, indicating that the CVT drivetrain and hybrid battery system have not been excessively stressed by long-distance commuting or heavy load cycles. Because the MOT history shows no recurring issues with structural integrity, brake systems, or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside the scope of a DVSA test. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to rubber hardening despite adequate depth. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the state of the hybrid battery cooling filters and inspect for any surface corrosion on the underbody, though the record indicates no significant structural rust to date.
