2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · AP68 WMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 77,249 miles passed, it initially failed immediately due to a rough nearside rear wheel bearing. This follows a failure in March 2026 regarding the electronic stability control warning lamp. The trend suggests that the owner is responsive to MOT failures, addressing mechanical faults only after they trigger a failure rather than during routine inspections. At 77,249 miles over seven years, the Yaris averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a modern hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 6,689 miles recorded between the March 2025 and June 2026 tests. Another 6,653 mile gap between March 2025 and March 2026 indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent premature degradation of components like suspension bushes and seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system to ensure previous repairs were executed correctly. The March 2025 failure highlighted an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush and thin front brake pads, necessitating a check for uneven tyre wear or remaining play in the steering. The electronic stability control fault from early 2026 must be verified to ensure the sensor was properly cleared and that no underlying electrical issue persists. The recent wheel bearing replacement in June 2026 should also be tested for any noise or play during a test drive to confirm the fix was successful.
