2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HT16 AAF

The 2016 Toyota Yaris demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, the most recent on 2023-06-08 at 50,604 miles. All prior tests from 2019 to 2022 also showed passing results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s service history suggests it has been well-kept, with no recurring faults or escalating problems. The mileage of 50,604 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,060 miles annually, which is below the average for its age. This low usage aligns with the MOT intervals, as tests occurred every 12 months without gaps. The gradual mileage increases—such as 6,913 miles between 2019 and 2020, and 6,433 between 2020 and 2021—suggest regular but light operation. However, prolonged periods of inactivity could affect components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, which may require closer inspection for stiffness or corrosion. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which may show wear if the vehicle was stored frequently. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion, as low mileage can lead to moisture buildup. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, given the vehicle’s age, and the body’s structural frame should be assessed for hidden rust, especially in seams or underbody panels. While the MOT records are clean, these areas warrant physical scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
