2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · LF55 ANN

As a 1.5L hybrid, this Yaris is designed for high fuel efficiency, particularly in stop-start traffic. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is exempt from many urban low-emission zone charges. You should expect low fuel consumption and a relatively low insurance group, typical for this class of supermini.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for specialised hybrid component inspections. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,150 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Focus your inspection on the interior, specifically looking at the area around the central window mentioned in the 2024 MOT record to ensure the damage was addressed and the trim is secure. Check the condition of the hybrid-specific components, such as the charging port flap and any visible high-voltage cabling if accessible.

Since the vehicle has covered 22,668 miles, inspect the brake pads and discs; while hybrid regenerative braking reduces wear, physical brakes can still suffer from corrosion if the car is frequently used for very short trips. Finally, verify that the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) operates smoothly without any unusual whining or hesitation during test drives.
