TOYOTA YARIS EXCEL HEV CVT2020 · 1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 22,861 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, as all three MOT tests—2023, 2024, and 2025—showed no failures or advisories. The 2025 test, conducted just over a year after the 2024 inspection, confirms consistent compliance with safety standards. No recurring issues were flagged, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within the recorded period. The mileage of 22,861 miles over six years equates to approximately 3,810 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT history shows no gaps longer than 14 months between tests, with the 2023 test at 10,798 miles and the 2024 test at 16,177 miles, suggesting regular but not excessive use. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear on bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can sometimes mask gradual degradation. Check for corrosion around the exhaust system and body panels, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust in hidden areas. While no structural issues were noted, a thorough visual assessment of the chassis and underbody is recommended to confirm there are no undetected fractures or damage. The absence of brake-related defects in all tests is positive, but a test drive should verify smooth pedal operation and absence of unusual noises.
