Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This GR Yaris demonstrates an exemplary record of roadworthiness, characterized by a complete absence of defects or advisories across its entire testing history. The most recent inspection on 2026-05-22 maintains this flawless trend, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all DVSA standards without requiring any corrective work or preventative warnings. With a recorded mileage of 20,491 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,100 miles per annum. This low annual accumulation suggests a usage pattern of light duty or occasional use rather than high-intensity daily commuting. Mechanically, this typically results in reduced wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it places a different emphasis on the preservation of rubber components and fluid intervals. Given the clean MOT history, there are no specific recorded failures such as suspension linkage wear, brake pipe corrosion, or exhaust leaks to investigate. A physical inspection should instead focus on the operational smoothness of the four-wheel-drive system and the condition of the brake discs to ensure no surface corrosion has developed during periods of inactivity. During a test drive, listen for any unusual drivetrain whine or vibrations under hard acceleration, which would be the primary mechanical concerns for a performance vehicle of this specification. Ensure the steering response is precise and free from any play or binding, and verify that the suspension remains firm without any knocking sounds over uneven surfaces. While the DVSA records show no structural integrity issues or subframe corrosion, a visual check of the underbody is advised to confirm the absence of stone chips or road debris damage consistent with the Circuit trim's lower ride height.

Our Verdict

A strong candidate for enthusiasts seeking a low-mileage GR Yaris. The MOT history shows a clean record with no recorded defects across three consecutive tests.

Given the performance-oriented nature of the Circuit trim, you should verify that the vehicle has been driven according to manufacturer recommendations. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT does not confirm the quality of routine servicing, so request a detailed service history to ensure oil changes and fluid checks have been performed regularly.

When negotiating, check the condition of the performance tyres and brake pads. While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the model aggregate data indicates these are common failure points for the GR Yaris. Ensure the 4WD system has been operated correctly and that there are no unusual noises from the drivetrain during a test drive.

As a 1.6-litre petrol vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, particularly given the high-performance tuning of the GR engine. You should expect higher-than-average fuel consumption if driven spiritedly.

Insurance groups for the GR Yaris tend to be higher due to its performance status, and maintenance costs may be elevated by the requirement for specialist tyres and performance brake components. Estimated annual running costs cover fuel, tax, insurance, and standard maintenance.

Focus your inspection on the consumables that the model aggregate data highlights as common MOT failure points: tyres and brake pads. Check the tread depth and ensure there is no uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues. Inspect the registration plates for any cracks or fading.

Because this is a 4WD performance model, listen for any mechanical whining or vibrations from the centre differential or rear drive components. Although no defects were noted in the MOT history for this specific registration (GR21ALS), a thorough check of the suspension components is advised to ensure the chassis remains tight.

This 2021 Toyota GR Yaris Circuit 4WD in black has covered 20,491 miles since its first registration in May 2021. Its MOT history is notable for having no defects recorded at 7,143, 13,554, and 20,491 miles. Compared to the model average annual mileage of 4,479, this vehicle's usage is slightly higher than the statistical mean but remains relatively low for its age.

The GR Yaris shows a high average MOT pass rate of 93.6% across 5,002 analysed vehicles.
