2021 Toyota Yaris Excel HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · LB71 OCR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on its clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 31 October 2025 at 21,202 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle consistently meets UK safety and environmental standards without signs of mechanical degradation or structural corrosion appearing in the recorded inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,240 miles per annum. Between the November 2024 test at 11,609 miles and the October 2025 test at 21,202 miles, the car covered 9,593 miles. This suggests consistent but short-distance usage, which typically results in less wear on the CVT drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brake friction materials compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on issues common with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spotting, which can occur if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The brake discs should be examined for surface rust, as infrequent use often fails to clear oxidation from the rotors, potentially leading to binding or uneven pad wear over time.
