2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LF18 HZS

The 2018 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, evidenced by a flawless MOT record. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 22,070 miles passed with zero defects, continuing a perfect five-year run of first-time passes. Although this certificate is now over a year old relative to the current date, the consistent absence of advisories or failures historically indicates diligent preventative care and no underlying mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 22,070 miles is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, equating to an average annual accumulation of roughly 2,759 miles. The MOT history shows a steady, predictable progression: 4,644 miles in April 2021, 9,788 miles in May 2022, 14,321 miles in May 2023, 18,184 miles in May 2024, and 22,070 miles in May 2025. This consistent yearly increase of approximately 3,800 to 4,800 miles suggests regular, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage runs. No anomalous gaps or rapid accumulations appear in the data. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential due to the vehicle's age and low mileage. Components degrade through time and environmental exposure rather than purely through use. A buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the date codes, as rubber hardens over eight years regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts require examination for perishing, while brake discs and calipers need checking for surface corrosion that often develops during short, low-speed journeys. Fluid levels and the condition of the auxiliary belt also warrant scrutiny to ensure no deterioration has occurred from infrequent operation.
