2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FM21 WMA

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with three consecutive years of passing MOT inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test on 31 July 2026 confirms this trend of passing with no issues, matching the results from the 2025 and 2024 tests. This absence of recorded failures or advisories across the documented period indicates that, based strictly on official DVSA testing, no structural corrosion, brake component degradation, or suspension wear has been flagged to date. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 3,614 miles per year, totaling 18,072 miles over its five-year lifespan. While this low usage reduces the mechanical wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, it also suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent trips. From a mechanical standpoint, this pattern means that while the drivetrain and suspension components may show minimal mileage-related fatigue, the vehicle has not been subjected to the regular operating temperatures and mechanical cycles typical of higher-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT history shows no specific defects, there are no flagged components like suspension bushes, brake pipes, or exhaust sections to scrutinise. However, given the low annual mileage, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of rubber components and fluids during a test drive. Listen for any irregular knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces, which could indicate that rubber bushings have perished or stiffened due to lack of movement rather than wear. Check for any hesitation in the hybrid system's transition or unusual noises from the CVT during acceleration, as infrequent use can sometimes affect the smoothness of hybrid drivetrains. During the road test, pay close attention to the braking feel; ensure there is no pedal judder or pulling to one side, which would indicate uneven pad deposits on the discs. Although no advisories were recorded, the low usage profile warrants a visual inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing, and a check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay that might have developed during periods of inactivity. The lack of recorded mechanical issues provides a clean baseline, but the specific usage pattern necessitates a thorough check of all moving parts to ensure they remain supple and functional.
