2021 Toyota Yaris Excel HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX71 LUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a consistent pattern of neglect related to low usage. The most recent test in September 2025 at 15,303 miles resulted in a pass despite multiple advisories for all four tyres showing signs of cracking and perishing. This suggests the rubber compound is deteriorating due to age rather than tread wear, a common trait in vehicles that remain stationary. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,061 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 10,405 miles and the September 2025 test at 15,303 miles, the car covered only 4,898 miles. This low mileage explains the specific mechanical issues noted in the records, as components have not been subjected to enough heat cycles or friction to prevent surface oxidation. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2024Test flagged corrosion and pitting on both front and rear brake discs. While the tester deemed them not seriously weakened, the presence of surface rust indicates the car sits idle for long periods. The recurring personories regarding tyre perishing across all four corners mean the current rubber is reaching the end of its functional life irrespective of the remaining tread depth. Close attention should also be paid to any seized calipers or dry rubber components that often affect low-mileage hybrid vehicles.
