2015 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · LO64 DPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on January 22 2026 at 93,293 miles showed an initial failure due to multiple defects including brakes, wipers, and lighting. While the car passed on the immediate retest, the recurring appearance of brake wear and tyre issues across several years suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of legal failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of usage from 72,656 miles in early 2023 to 93,293 miles in early 2026. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components. However, the total mileage puts the car at a stage where age-related components like suspension bushes and braking hardware typically begin to dictate the frequency of MOT advisories. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the record shows a persistent trend of issues. In 2024 at 80,574 miles the offside rear brake was binding and pads were badly thin. By January 2026 the nearside rear pad had fallen below the 1.5mm limit and both rear discs were pitted and scored. You must verify that these were actually replaced and that the calipers are no longer sticking. Additionally, the front tyres have been flagged as worn to the legal limit in both 2025 and 2026, indicating they may be nearing the end of their life again.
