Our Verdict
A nearly new Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT w
Given the MOT record shows only two minor advisories over the vehicle's life, there are no specific mechanical red flags to negotiate around based on test outcomes alone. Buyers should still inspect the tyres carefully as the 2026 advisory noted cracking/perishing on the offside rear, and the 2025 advisory flagged a cut on the offside front — this could indicate kerbing damage or general wear. Check that the registration plate deterioration noted in 2026 is purely cosmetic and not concealing underlying damage. As this is a hybrid model, confirm the hybrid system is functioning correctly via dashboard displays and that the 12V battery has been checked, as this is a common wear item.
The Yaris Icon trim is well-equipped but sits below the mid-range Excel and Design grades, so do not expect features like parking sensors or larger alloy wheels unless added aftermarket. Verify the service history is present and stamped, with particular attention to any hybrid system checks. Given the vehicle is still well within its manufacturer warranty period (Toyota typically offers five years from new), confirm remaining cover with a Toyota dealer before purchase. A pre-purchase inspection by a Toyota specialist is sensible given the relatively high mileage for a 2023 car.
The Toyota Yaris HEV consistently returns 55-65 mpg in real-world driving thanks to its hybrid system, making it one of the most economical petrol-electric cars in its class. Road tax is minimal thanks to the Euro 6 AP emissions status and low CO2 output, placing it in a low VED band. Insurance is typically Group 14-16 depending on driver history, making it affordable for most drivers.
Estimated annual maintenance for a Yaris HEV is modest, with routine servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles. The hybrid battery carries a separate warranty from Toyota and is generally considered very durable. Brake wear is typically reduced due to regenerative braking. Overall annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance should be in the region of £800-£1,100, depending on mileage and driving style.
Start with a close inspection of all four tyres, paying particular attention to the offside pair which have both featured in MOT advisories — check for uneven wear which might suggest tracking or suspension issues. Examine the rear registration plate area to assess the deterioration flagged in August 2026; ensure it is a simple cosmetic issue rather than damage to the panel behind. Check the windscreen wipers as this is the second most common MOT failure point on Yaris models according to aggregate data.
For the hybrid system specifically, observe the dashboard energy flow display during a test drive to ensure smooth transitions between petrol and electric modes. Listen for any unusual noises from the continuously variable transmission (CVT) — these units are generally robust but can show issues if the vehicle has been heavily driven. Shock absorbers should be tested by pushing down on each corner and checking for excessive bounce, as this is the third most common failure point on this model. Finally, inspect bodywork for stone chips and parking damage consistent with urban driving given the likely usage pattern of a Yaris in this plate range.
This 2023 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT was first registered in November 2023 and has covered approximately 46,207 miles across three years, putting it broadly in line with the model average of around 7,000-8,000 miles per year. Both MOT tests on record have resulted in passes with only minor advisories related to tyre condition and registration plate deterioration. The vehicle is a Euro 6 compliant hybrid, registered in the EF73 plate range indicating late 2023 manufacture. No advisory patterns suggest developing mechanical concerns based on the available test data.
The Toyota Yaris has an excellent reliability reputation, reflected in the strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 91.4% across nearly 32,000 vehicles analysed. The hybrid powertrain is widely regarded as one of the most dependable in the small car class.
