Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, you should verify that the vehicle has still received annual oil and filter changes regardless of distance covered. Check the service book to ensure the hybrid health check has been performed as part of the manufacturer's warranty and service plan.
Negotiate based on the current state of the consumables. While the 2025 MOT was clean, the 2024 record highlighted worn brake discs and tyres; confirm these were replaced rather than just monitored, as this will impact your immediate maintenance budget.
As a hybrid electric vehicle with Euro 6 AP status, this Yaris offers excellent fuel economy and low emissions, making it ideal for urban environments. It falls into a low tax bracket and a moderate insurance group typical for the Design trim level.
Maintenance costs are generally low for this model, though the hybrid system requires specific periodic checks. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are likely to be between £700 and £900.
Pay close attention to the front braking system. The September 2024 MOT noted that both nearside and offside front inner brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored; ensure these have been replaced or refurbished. Similarly, check the current tread depth of the front tyres, as tyre wear is the most common MOT failure reason for this model across 57,506 analysed vehicles.
Inspect the offside rear lamp unit for any signs of the damage recorded in the October 2023 MOT. Finally, ensure the interior is clear of obstructions, as the 2023 test required items to be removed from the driver's view to pass.
This 2020 Grey Toyota Yaris Design HEV has recorded just 17,770 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. It has passed all three of its MOT tests to date, with the most recent test recording no defects. The vehicle's low mileage and the model's high aggregate pass rate make it a compelling proposition.
The Yaris HEV has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a 93.2% average MOT pass rate across a large sample size of over 57,000 vehicles.
