2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · CV68 HOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 June 2026 at 42,617 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as previous mechanical failures were addressed immediately to to passes. While the most recent test identified a minor offside windscreen crack and slight fluid misting around the nearside front brake caliper, these did not result in a failure, suggesting the vehicle is meeting minimum safety standards despite minor wear items. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the car covering roughly 5,000 miles between June 2024 and another 4,800 miles by June 2025. This low-frequency use typically implies less strain on the engine and gearbox compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if left stationary for, which may account for the specific mechanical issues noted in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The failure for a fractured offside front coil spring at 37,707 miles and the rough nearside rear wheel bearing at 32,865 miles indicate that components are reaching the end of their life despite the low mileage. The misting of fluid around the nearside front caliper in the June 2026 test warrants a close look to ensure the seal is not failing toward a significant leak. Inspecting the tyres for flat spotting or cracking is also advisable, given the low annual mileage which can lead to age-related rubber compound hardening.
