2013 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV63 FGJ

Recurring issues with tyre degradation and rear brake disc corrosion define the mechanical record of this vehicle. While it passed its most recent inspection on 19 January 2026, the record shows a persistent pattern of rear brake disc pitting and scoring dating back to 2021, alongside ongoing tyre wear and perishing. This suggests a trend of slow-onset wear on consumables rather than sudden mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 50,415 miles is low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,878 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates the car has likely spent significant periods stationary, which is mechanically consistent with the recorded dangerous failure of valve stems in 2021 and the repeated advisories for perishing rubber and pitted brake discs. Prospective buyers should prioritise the condition of the rear braking system, as the pitting and scoring of the discs have been flagged across multiple years. During a test drive, listen for any unusual grinding noises from the rear or feel for pedal judder during deceleration, which would indicate the discs have deteriorated beyond the point of simple surface corrosion. Attention must also be paid to the front tyres, which have a history of perishing and are currently noted for edge wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracks and check for uneven tread wear that could suggest alignment issues. Ensure the windscreen wiper blades are replaced as per the latest minor defect, and verify that the tyre valve stems are secure and not leaking, following the dangerous failure recorded in 2021.
