2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · CU69 VPD

This Toyota Yaris presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with no defects recorded across all five tests spanning from September 2022 to July 2025. The most recent entries—two tests on the same day in July 2025 at 11,999 miles—both passed without advisories, confirming the vehicle’s structural and mechanical integrity remains sound. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests consistent maintenance or, alternatively, minimal use that has spared the car from typical wear-and-tear issues. Such a flawless record is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the low annual mileage, which often correlates with neglected servicing rather than pristine condition. The mileage pattern is striking: the Yaris has covered just 1,714 miles per year on average, with the largest single-year jump being 2,763 miles between the 2024 (7,497 miles) and 2025 (11,999 miles) tests. The gap between the 2023 (4,734 miles) and 2024 tests—1,763 miles over 11 months—implies the car may have sat unused for extended periods, possibly in storage. Such low mileage could mean components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyre tread have aged without significant wear, but it also raises questions about whether fluids (brake fluid, engine oil) have been regularly checked or replaced. The double MOT test in July 2025, both passing without issue, may indicate a deliberate check before sale or a routine resubmission after an initial administrative error, though neither reveals any mechanical concerns. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on verifying that the low mileage hasn’t masked deferred maintenance. Given the lack of advisories, there’s no evidence of structural corrosion, binding brakes, or worn suspension, but a thorough inspection should confirm tyre tread depth (even if tread appears intact, age-related hardening could affect grip) and check for fluid leaks under the bay. The rear brakes, often prone to binding in low-mileage cars due to seized calipers from disuse, should be tested for smooth operation. While the MOT history is reassuring, the unusual mileage pattern means the car’s true condition hinges on whether it’s been properly serviced—something the records don’t address. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to validate the absence of hidden issues.
