Our Verdict
This Toyota Yaris is a solid buy, backed by a spotless three-year MOT record and the efficiency of a hybrid powertrain. The only niggles are the tyre advisories, which are cheap to sort, and the lack of model-specific aggregate data to benchmark against. Overall, it's a dependable, low-stress city car that should serve a buyer well.
Given the clean MOT history, this is a low-risk purchase, but don't skip your own checks. The tyre advisories are the clear priority — budget for replacing at least the two front tyres and the nearside rear soon, and check the offside rear for similar cracking. Ask the seller if any tyres have already been replaced, and confirm the car has been serviced on schedule, especially the 10-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty which requires a yearly Toyota/independent service to stay valid.
Toyota's 1.5-litre hybrid is one of the most efficient small engines on the market, with real-world economy of around 60-65mpg achievable in mixed driving. Road tax for a 2021 hybrid will be minimal — likely £10 per year in the standard band — and insurance sits in a mid-range group for a modest premium. Servicing at a Toyota dealer costs roughly £150-£200 per visit, but independent specialists are cheaper and won't void the hybrid battery warranty if using genuine parts.
Start with the tyres: the last MOT noted cracking on both front tyres and the nearside rear, so check for sidewall splits, age (manufactured before 2017), and tread depth. Look at the rear shocks for oil leaks, a known issue on small Toyotas, and listen for any clicking from the front CV joints. Verify the hybrid battery health with the dashboard diagnostic mode, and when you test drive, pay attention to the CVT's smoothness — it should be seamless with no hesitation.
Registered in June 2021, this Yaris Design HEV CVT has covered 36,891 miles across five years, which is a touch below the UK average for that age. Every MOT has been a first-time pass with no failures, and the only advisories are perished tyres on the front and rear nearside. As a hybrid, it offers impressive economy and low running costs, making it an ideal commuter or urban runabout.
No specific aggregate data is available for the Yaris Design HEV CVT, but Toyota's Yaris range has a strong reputation for reliability in the UK, particularly the hybrid variants which are known to be very dependable when serviced regularly.
