2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN69 URE

The most recent MOT, carried out on 14 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three annual tests (2024, 2023 and the earlier 2022 test) also resulted in passes. The only anomaly in the record is a failure logged on 2 September 2022, which, given the absence of any defect notes, almost certainly relates to an administrative issue such as missing documentation rather than a mechanical fault. In practical terms the vehicle’s MOT history demonstrates a stable maintenance pattern, with no recurring failures or advisories evident over the last five years. At 88,448 miles the Yaris has accumulated roughly 12,600 miles per annum, a usage rate well above the average for a compact hatchback of its age. This level of mileage suggests that consumable components – tyre tread, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings and engine oil – will have experienced significant wear. The mileage also indicates the car has likely been driven regularly rather than sitting idle, which reduces the risk of calendar‑related corrosion but increases the probability of progressive mechanical fatigue, especially on the front suspension and braking system. When inspecting the vehicle, give particular attention to the condition of the tyres. Verify tread depth is at least 3 mm across the width and inspect the sidewalls for cracking, bulging or dry‑rot, which can develop with age even on relatively low‑wear tyres. Examine the brake discs for signs of scoring, rust through the vent holes, or uneven wear, and feel for any pedal pulsation or shudder during a test drive that could indicate warped discs or worn pads. Check the front and rear suspension for any clunking or excessive play by applying pressure over the wheels and listening for knocking that may reveal worn coil springs, deteriorated rubber bushings or loose anti‑roll bar links. Finally, confirm that time‑based services have been observed: engine oil and filter should have been changed at roughly 10‑15 000 mile intervals, and the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid ought to have been flushed at least once in the past seven years. Inspect for any oil, coolant or brake fluid leaks around the engine bay, under the chassis and at the rear of the vehicle. Test the 12‑volt battery voltage and assess its age, as a battery older than four years may struggle with the higher electrical load of modern accessories. A full service book with dealer stamps will provide confidence that the high mileage has been managed with appropriate maintenance, reducing the risk of unexpected failures after purchase.
