2013 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · EJ63 UBN

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 5 June 2026 at 26,757 miles which recorded zero defects or advisories. This represents an improving trend compared to the 2021 test, showing that the current owner has addressed previous concerns and maintained the mechanical and structural integrity over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,058 miles annually. Data shows a significant period of low use between December 2022 and May 2024 where the car covered only 107 miles in over sixteen months. A more recent surge occurred between June 2025 and June 2026, where the vehicle clocked 14,836 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals of inactivity often lead to degradation of components that do not benefit from movement. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of rubber-based components due to the low mileage history. The 2021 test flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking, a common symptom of vehicles sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer must verify that the tyres have been replaced recently and inspect the sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake hoses for dry rot or cracking. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle is not driven often enough to clear away surface rust.
