2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · DC68 JDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the test in March 2026 at 75,177 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a pitted nearside rear brake disc, damaged windscreen, and a perishing tyre. This contrasts with the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 40,810 miles in March 2023 to 53,337 miles in March 2024, followed by a 21,840-mile interval leading to the most recent 2026 test. This consistent accumulation indicates the car is driven regularly, which generally prevents internal seal issues, but explains the degradation of rubber-based components noted in more recent tests. A buyer must personally inspect the rear tyres closely, as the record shows recurring issues with cracking and damage across both 2025 and 2026. The perishing of the rubber suggests the tyres may be age-related despite having sufficient tread depth. Additionally, the nearside rear brake disc is now flagged for pitting and scoring, which will likely require replacement soon to ensure consistent braking performance and prevent judder. The windscreen should also be checked for the noted chips to ensure they do not expand into the driver's primary field of view.
