2021 Toyota Yaris Launch Edition HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · RU71 SJW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 29 August 2025 at 10,928 miles passed but flagged a specific advisory for front tyres worn near the legal limit. Both the nearside and offside tyres showed 3mm tread with uneven wear on the edges, indicating a potential alignment issue or incorrect pressure rather than simple mileage-. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 2,186 miles per year. The record shows an increase of 3,067 miles between the August 2024 test at 7,861 miles and the August 2025 test. This low annual usage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have faced minimal mechanical stress, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or surface corrosion on the brake discs. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry to address the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 record. This includes checking the tracking, tie rod ends, and suspension bushes for signs of play or tearing. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also verify that the braking system has not seized due to disuse and ensure the fluid has not degraded, which are common issues for vehicles that sit stationary.
