2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN68 YVL

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, confirmed by a flawless pass in the most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 at 34,336 miles. Throughout its recorded history, the Yaris has passed every annual test without a single defect or advisory, indicating consistent mechanical integrity and diligent upkeep by the previous owner. This unblemished record suggests the car has been well-maintained rather than merely patched through its annual inspections. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 4,292 miles per year, which is notably low for a supermini. Between the 2024 test at 30,939 miles and the 2025 test at 34,336 miles, the car covered 3,397 miles, demonstrating steady, light usage. Prior annual increments show a similar pattern: 2,162 miles between 2021 and 2022, 2,475 miles between 2022 and 2023, and 2,475 miles between 2023 and 2024. Such consistent, low-mileage accumulation rules out long periods of standing still, which can cause brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, pointing instead to regular, short-trip local driving. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components not always stressed by low-mileage usage. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The exhaust system and underbody require scrutiny for surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent its life on salted roads during winter. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing, while the brake discs and pads must be inspected for uneven wear or lipping that can occur from infrequent high-speed driving. A test drive will confirm the condition of the clutch, gearbox, and steering alignment, ensuring the mechanical reality matches the paper trail.
