2015 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · DA15 LSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on 19 June 2025 at 25,303 miles. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance status following a period of multiple advisories and minor defects between 2022 and 2024. The absence of defects in the most recent test suggests that the owner has finally addressed the recurring wear and tear issues that were flagged in previous inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. The data shows a notable drop in usage between June 2021 and June 2025, where the car covered only 3,249 miles over a four-year span. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion, which is consistent with the historical records of perished tyres and pitted brakes. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension. The records from 2022 to 2024 show a persistent trend of brake discs exhibiting pitting and scoring across all four corners, likely caused by the vehicle sitting for long periods allowing moisture to corrode the metal surfaces. Additionally, the front suspension arm bush noted in 2022 should be checked for further tearing or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles suffer from age-related rubber fatigue. The tyres require specific scrutiny. The MOT history from 2022 and 2023 highlights multiple issues with perishing, cracking, and uneven wear, particularly the nearside front. Even if the tread depth appears sufficient, the age of the rubber and the low mileage suggest potential structural failure. Ensure the tyres have been replaced recently since the 2023 test to confirm they are safe for operational use.
