2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FM18 DXH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2026 at 16,806 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This trend suggests the car is currently in a good state of repair, having moved from minor issues to a perfect pass in the last two annual tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. There is a notable discrepancy in the data between the 2024 test at 16,860 miles and the June 2025 test at 16,741 miles, which suggests a potential recording error or an odometer adjustment during that period. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and oxidation of metal surfaces due to the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer's inspector should focus their physical inspection on the components affected by this low-usage history. The June 2023 test identified pitting and scoring on all four brake discs, a common symptom of cars that are not driven frequently enough to clear rust from the rotors. Furthermore, the July 2024 failure for a perished offside front tyre due to cracking confirms that the rubber is aging by time rather than tread wear. Check all tyre sidewalls for deep crazing and inspect the brake calipers to ensure the pistons have not seized from long periods of inactivity.
