2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN18 JUH

The 2018 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 26 July 2025 at 56,003 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trajectory demonstrates consistent care, moving from a failed test on 20 July 2024 at 48,706 miles to a clean pass just six days later on 26 July 2024 at 48,874 miles. The absence of any advisories or defects across the subsequent two tests indicates the owner addressed the underlying issue promptly, leaving the vehicle in a sound roadworthy state at its most recent inspection. The vehicle has covered 56,003 miles over roughly eight years, averaging approximately 7,000 miles annually. This low-to-average mileage suggests predominantly short, urban journeys rather than high-speed motorway use, which typically places different demands on consumables like brake discs and suspension bushes. The mileage accumulation remains steady, progressing from 30,373 miles in July 2022 to 40,972 miles in July 2023, and reaching 48,874 miles by July 2024. The slight anomaly of the 2024 failed test occurring just 168 miles before the subsequent pass implies a minor, swiftly rectified fault rather than a prolonged mechanical decline. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on typical wear items for a Yaris of this age and mileage. Examine the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate neglected tracking or suspension bush degradation. Check the brake discs and pads for lipping or corrosion, common on vehicles doing short trips. Inspect the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the sills and subframes, as the 2024 failure warrants a closer look at whatever component prompted the initial rejection.
