2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · LL66 WWB

The 2016 Toyota Yaris holds a current MOT valid until November 2026, having passed its most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 48,427 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a recurring pattern of marginal braking performance and uneven tyre wear. The 2025 pass is notable because the service brake efficiency only just met the required standard, with the tester explicitly noting the system likely requires adjustment or repair. This suggests the braking system is not deteriorating rapidly but has been operating at the lower boundary of acceptable performance for some time. The mileage accumulation is low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,843 miles per year. The record shows a fairly consistent climb from 29,848 miles in November 2021 to 48,427 miles in November 2025, representing approximately 18,579 miles over four years, or around 4,645 miles annually. No significant gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, indicating the vehicle has been used regularly but gently. The MOT history itself is complete with no missed annual tests, which reflects a baseline level of legal compliance from the keeper. The most persistent theme across the record is brake disc wear. Rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in November 2023 at 39,793 miles, and an offside rear disc received the same advisory in November 2022 at 35,401 miles. Combined with the marginal brake efficiency result in 2025, a buyer should have the braking system inspected thoroughly. The front and rear discs, calipers, and pads all warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, particularly given the low mileage, which can lead to disc pitting from prolonged standing or short trips. Tyre wear advisories appear in three of the five tests, affecting both nearside and offside positions across front and rear axles. The repeated inner and edge wear patterns suggest possible suspension geometry issues, worn suspension bushes, or misaligned tracking rather than simple neglect. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, including drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil springs, and verify wheel alignment. The low annual mileage also raises the question of tyre age; even with adequate tread, rubber deterioration from age should be checked, particularly if the tyres are original or have not been replaced recently.
