2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GD18 HTX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 June 2025 at 7,699 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety and emission standards. This follows a trend of passes in previous years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained well-maintained despite low usage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year vehicle, averaging approximately 962 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 5,333 miles and the June 2025 test at 7,699 miles, the car covered only 2,366 miles. The failure recorded on 3 July 2024 at 7,062 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed just six days later on 9 July at 7,080 miles. This suggests a minor issue, likely a consumable item, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or systemic failure. A buyer should focus on inspecting components susceptible to long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Low mileage often leads to flat spotting on tyres, seized brake calipers, or perished rubber suspension bushes due to lack of movement. Check the tyres for age cracking in the sidewalls and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture over time. Since the record shows no structural advisories for corrosion, the chassis integrity likely remains sound, but a physical check for surface rust in the wheel arches remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
