2018 TOYOTA YARIS1.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 26,716 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This consistency of clean passes over five consecutive annual tests indicates that the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring structural failures or safety-related regressions. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,340 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 7,547 miles and the September 2025 test at 26,716 miles, the car covered 19,169 miles, showing a recent increase in usage compared to previous years. However, the overall figure suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The long intervals between tests indicate the car likely sat stationary or was used primarily for short urban trips rather than long-distance commuting. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage standing. Specific attention is required for flat spots on the tyres or cracking in the sidewalls, which often occur when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods. The brake system should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can cause calipers to seize or discs to rust. Additionally, rubber suspension bushes and bushings should be inspected for age-related cracking, as materials degrade over time regardless of the mileage recorded.
