2013 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LM63 AAV

The 2013 Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test, which was a pass on 2025-12-16 at 63,995 miles. However, a failed test on 2025-12-15 at the same mileage raises questions about procedural accuracy or potential unresolved issues. No defects were recorded in either test, suggesting the vehicle met baseline safety standards. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, indicating a consistent maintenance pattern. The absence of critical failures in the last three years implies the car has been well-maintained, though the failed test warrants further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,995 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 4,923 miles annually, significantly lower than average. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, batteries, and suspension bushes. The MOT history shows regular testing, with intervals of 12–14 months, but the lack of mileage progression between 2024-12-09 (58,854 miles) and 2025-12-16 (63,995 miles) indicates a 5,141-mile increase over 12 months—a rate consistent with low usage. This pattern may mask hidden issues, such as corrosion or fluid degradation, requiring closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking for signs of long-term inactivity, including dry-rotted tyres, seized suspension components, and corrosion in underbody areas. The absence of brake or exhaust-related defects in the MOT records is positive, but the low mileage means wear on consumables like brake discs and clutch plates may not yet be apparent. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage could have developed unnoticed. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the failed MOT and sparse mileage growth necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm itsTrue condition.
