2015 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC15 DTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent MOT conducted in January 2026 at 64,717 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a streak of clean passes in 2024 and 2025. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the car is currently maintaining a high standard of presentation. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 36,732 miles in 2018 to 64,717 miles in early 2026. While this low usage suggests less wear on engine and drivetrain components, it also highlights age-related degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the 2023 test where multiple tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking despite the low mileage. A buyer should focus specifically on the condition of the suspension components during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure and advisory noted deteriorated rear bushes on the front lower suspension arm, and while this passed in subsequent tests, these rubber elements remain prone to cracking on vehicles that sit for long periods. The history of perishing tyres in 2023 also suggests that the owner should inspect tyres for age-related dry rot rather than just tread depth, as the low mileage does not prevent the compound from hardening over time.
