2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LG66 BCV

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 16 April 2025 at 52,156 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show consistent clean results. The only anomaly appears on 29 March 2023, when the vehicle failed yet recorded no defects at 30,988 miles before passing the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural irregularity rather than mechanical fault. Overall, the test history indicates no worsening condition. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a ten-year-old car. The earliest supplied record, 30 September 2022, shows 30,586 miles. Six months later, on 29 March 2023, the odometer read 30,988 miles, a mere 402 miles covered. From that point, use normalised: 41,436 miles by 9 March 2024 and 52,156 miles by April 2025, averaging roughly 10,500 miles annually. The sparse early history before late 2022 limits longitudinal analysis, but the post-2022 data reveals no rapid accumulation or neglect signals. With no advisories or defects logged across any test, the DVSA record implies conscientious upkeep of consumables and mechanical systems. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items. The tester recorded no corrosion or suspension wear, yet ten years of service can hide perished rubber bushes, lightly scored brake discs, or structural rust on sills and subframes, particularly if the car stood idle during low-mileage periods. The April 2025 pass at 52,156 miles confirms roadworthiness but does not exempt the Yaris from scrutiny of coil springs and binding calipers. The unexplained failure on 29 March 2023 warrants a check of the full DVSA certificate to confirm no omitted fault. Previous owners clearly addressed each test requirement promptly, as shown by the immediate same-day pass. Given the low annual mileage, tyres and wiper blades may exhibit sidewall cracking rather than tread wear. Inspect exhaust emissions integrity and handbrake efficiency in person before purchase.
