2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LV16 ABK

This Toyota Yaris has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all four most recent tests—conducted between June 2022 and July 2025—resulting in clean passes at 29,030, 31,368, 34,448, and 37,266 miles respectively. The absence of advisories or defects across these intervals suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been overlooked, though the lack of recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test, just under a year ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though buyers should verify whether any minor consumables—such as brake pads or wiper blades—have since been replaced, as these are not MOT-visible. The mileage progression of approximately 3,700 miles per year aligns with light-to-moderate usage, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 2,338 miles in under a year—implies either a period of reduced driving or potential underrecording. The steady accumulation thereafter suggests consistent, albeit low, annual mileage, which may indicate the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. While this can mitigate some wear, it also raises the risk of neglected fluid changes or corrosion development in components exposed to moisture, particularly in suspension mounts or wheel bearings. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, where rubber bushes and coil springs may exhibit fatigue despite no recorded advisories. The brakes, though never flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be examined closely, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of rust. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are uncommon but not impossible in vehicles with limited driving history.
