2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · DS18 EFT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 August 2025 at 34,125 miles resulted in zero defects or advisories, maintaining a streak of clean passes across the previous four tests. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without any signs of recurring failure or deferred maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,266 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 10,111 miles and August 2025 at 34,125 miles, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles, indicating light annual use. The intervals between tests are consistent, with a slight shift from June to August in the testing cycle in the more recent years. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and tyrealls. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. The buyer should check for brake disc pitting or seized calipers which can occur when a car is used infrequently. Additionally, inspect the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as tread depth may remain high while the rubber ages over time. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the chassis is likely in good condition, but verifying the integrity of fluid levels and rubber seals remains necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered during its periods of inactivity.
