Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the track rod end and suspension arm ball joint issues noted in the 2025 and 2026 MOT tests have been professionally repaired with supporting receipts. Because this is a hybrid model, ensure the hybrid battery health is confirmed via a specialist check or Toyota's own service records if available.
Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate model average. Check the tread depth on all four tyres, as the 2022 MOT recorded both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit, suggesting a pattern of tyre wear that may recur.
As a 1.5L hybrid, this Yaris is designed for high fuel efficiency, particularly in urban environments. It typically sits in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for daily commuting.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic hybrid-specific component checks. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to be moderate.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension components. The MOT history specifically highlights a nearside track rod end ball joint with excessive play in 2026 and a nearside front suspension arm ball joint with play in 2025. Ensure there is no lingering play in the steering or unusual knocking sounds when driving over bumps.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and lighting. The 2022 MOT noted defective side repeater lenses and worn tyres; ensure all indicators are functioning correctly and that the current tyre tread is well within legal limits and shows even wear.
This 2018 red Toyota Yaris Hybrid has covered 42,081 miles, which is higher than the model average of 5,637 miles per year. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent being a pass in May 2026. While it has experienced some suspension-related failures, these appear to have been addressed.
The Toyota Yaris shows a robust presence in our data, with an 80% average MOT pass rate across over 470,000 analysed vehicles.
