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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record over the last several years. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 40,851 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following an initial failure on the same day that recorded no specific faults. This anomaly suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent history maintains a perfect record without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,085 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 34,152 miles and May 2025 at 40,851 miles, the car covered only 6,699 miles over three years. This low rate of use suggests the vehicle was likely used for short-distance trips or has remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term idling or low-speed driving can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid. Because the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low usage. A buyer should check for brake corrosion or pitting on the discs, as infrequent use can prevent the surfaces from cleaning themselves. Suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require examination for cracking or dry rot, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. The clean technical history suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but the low mileage necessitates a close look at fluid freshness and the integrity of rubber seals.
