2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FX68 RYD

The 2018 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 19 July 2025 at 18,976 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Every single test in the five-year history, from 2021 through 2025, has passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating consistent and attentive upkeep by previous owners. There is no evidence of recurring faults, and the trend is firmly stable with no signs of deterioration. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. The vehicle has covered just 18,976 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 2,372 miles per year. The annual increments are steady and predictable, moving from 3,832 miles in August 2021 to 7,462 miles by July 2022, then 11,756 miles by July 2023, 15,247 miles by July 2024, and finally 18,976 miles by July 2025. Each year adds between 3,500 and 3,700 miles with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps, suggesting regular short-journey commuting rather than long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage and short-trip usage pattern warrant a careful in-person inspection. Vehicles driven primarily on short journeys rarely reach full operating temperature, which can lead to moisture accumulation in the engine oil and exhaust system, potentially causing corrosion over time. A buyer should inspect the underside for surface corrosion on exhaust components, suspension mounting points, and subframe surfaces, even though no tester has flagged such issues. Tyre condition deserves close attention, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from sidewall deterioration and perishing due to age rather than tread wear, and the tyres on this example may be original or near-original given the minimal use. The braking system and suspension components should also be physically examined. While no tester has identified binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or deteriorated suspension bushes, short-trip driving can cause brake discs to surface rust and wear unevenly. A test drive over varied road surfaces will reveal any latent issues with shock absorbers, bushings, or steering components that the MOT has not yet needed to flag. Overall, this Yaris has a thoroughly clean and consistent MOT history that reflects well-maintained ownership, but the buyer should verify that the physical condition matches the paperwork, particularly around corrosion and aged rubber components.
