2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WJ68 ACV

This 2018 Toyota Yaris has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness through its most recent MOT tests, with the final pass recorded just 11 months ago on 4 August 2025 at 20,882 miles. The absence of defects across all five tests—including the duplicate entry for August 2022—suggests no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The vehicle has not required major repairs or advisories, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear on high-friction or high-stress components such as suspension bushes or brake calipers, which may only become apparent through a thorough physical inspection. The recorded mileage of 20,882 miles over eight years—approximately 2,610 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with intervals of around 12–14 months, and no sudden spikes in mileage suggest the car has been stored or driven sparingly. The low mileage could imply deferred maintenance, as some owners delay servicing or repairs when a vehicle is rarely used. However, the consistent pass rates also suggest the previous owner adhered to basic MOT compliance without neglecting obvious issues. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these are less visible but critical for handling. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate rust formation. Tyres, despite no recorded faults, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread depth or sidewall damage, which could indicate past neglect. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as low mileage does not preclude environmental degradation over time. The absence of advisories in the MOT record does not guarantee these areas are free from issues.
