2020 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG20 KKL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 35,564 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed immediately prior with multiple defects including an inoperative reversing lamp, incorrect headlamp aim, and faulty wipers. The resolution of these items for the subsequent re-test suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 35,564 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, yet the record shows evidence of uneven tyre wear. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 7,105 miles, yet the tester noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and specifically on the edges. This pattern points toward potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not been properly monitored or adjusted despite the low annual distance driven. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the inner suspension arm pins or bushes were flagged for wear during the 2025 test. Although the tester did not find excessive movement at that time, these bushes are prone to degradation which can lead to handling instability and further premature tyre wear. The recurring TPMS light noted in both 2024 and 2025 requires a diagnostic check to ensure a faulty sensor or battery is not left unaddressed. Given the history of cuts and nails in the tyres, a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres is also necessary to ensure no structural damage exists to the sidewalls.
