2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DS19 NHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance after years of clean records. While it passed the May 2026 test at 15,564 miles, the tester identified multiple defects that were not present in previous years. The presence of both offside and nearside front tyres worn close to the legal limit with damaged outer edges suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven wear that has gone unaddressed until this test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,223 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 6,009 miles in May 2023 to 10,068 miles in May 2025, and reaching 15,564 miles by 2026. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely due to recurring notes regarding surface corrosion. The record shows a history of pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2026, with the latest test specifically flagging the offside rear disc. This is a common symptom of low-mileage cars where brakes are not used frequently enough to clear surface rust, but the reported damage and uneven wear on the front tyres necessitate a physical check of the suspension bushes and wheel geometry to ensure no underlying mechanical failure is causing premature tyre degradation.
