2021 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · DA21 HFB

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 7 April 2026 at 84,789 miles, passing with only a minor advisory for the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the inner shoulder to 0mm. The overall maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a recurring pattern of tyre wear advisories suggests the owner has consistently deferred proactive tyre replacement until the MOT flags the issue. The most recent test is only two and a half months old, meaning the certificate is very fresh, but the advisory on the offside front tyre indicates uneven wear that has likely worsened since the test date and should be addressed promptly. At roughly five years old with 84,789 miles recorded, the annualised mileage of approximately 16,958 miles is high for a supermini of this type. The MOT record shows a jump from 61,613 miles on 23 April 2024 to 75,522 miles on 16 April 2025, representing 13,909 miles in just under twelve months, followed by a further 9,267 miles in the twelve months to April 2026. This sustained high-mileage usage pattern points to regular motorway or long-distance driving, which places accelerated wear on consumable components including tyres, brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and the hybrid drivetrain. The mileage progression is consistent with no obvious gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been in continuous use rather than standing idle. The most persistent issue across the MOT history is uneven and premature tyre wear, flagged in three of the four recorded tests. The offside front tyre has appeared as an advisory in both April 2025 and April 2026, with the latest test noting inner shoulder wear down to 0mm, which points to possible tracking misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect camber settings. A buyer should have the front suspension and steering geometry inspected professionally, paying close attention to lower arm bushes, track rod ends, and strut mounts. The nearside rear tyre advisory in April 2024 and the cut reaching the ply or cords on the nearside rear tyre during the failed test on 16 April 2025 further suggest the vehicle may have suffered kerb impacts or road debris damage that warrants a thorough underbody inspection for any related structural or arch liner damage. Beyond tyres, the single failure on 16 April 2025 also flagged a non-working nearside front position lamp, a minor electrical issue that may indicate a failed bulb, corroded wiring connector, or a fault in the body control module. Given the high mileage and the hybrid powertrain, a buyer should also verify the condition of the regenerative braking system, inspect the high-voltage battery cooling intake for blockage, and check the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframe areas where prolonged use on salted roads can compromise structural integrity.
