2013 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · LR13 GZM

The 2013 Toyota Yaris presents a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 45,325 miles, where it passed with zero defects. This outcome reflects a clear and sustained improvement in overall roadworthiness. A pattern of recurring faults around the 2024 and 2025 test cycles, specifically concerning the front bumper security and headlamp aim, has been fully resolved. The maintenance trajectory is firmly positive, indicating that the previous owner addressed these issues promptly and comprehensively rather than allowing them to persist. No current advisories or failures remain on the record. The vehicle's mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old car, standing at 45,325 miles, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 3,487 miles. The MOT history confirms consistent but light usage, with the odometer climbing 4,589 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 5,563 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This recent uptick in annual mileage suggests the car has been used more frequently over the last two years after potentially standing for extended periods earlier in its life. The MOT record itself is complete and well-documented, showing no gaps in annual testing that would raise concerns about unmonitored wear. Prospective buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the components that historically caused test failures. The front bumper and its mounting points warrant close scrutiny, as the repeated advisories regarding insecure and damaged bumpers in 2024 and 2025 suggest this area may have been subject to minor impacts. Check the headlamp aim and mounting security, particularly on the offside, to ensure the remedial work has held. Inspect the nearside front wing undertray, which was flagged as damaged and insecure in 2025, for signs of fresh damage or improper refitting. Given the low annual mileage, examine the tyre condition carefully, as infrequent use can lead to sidewall deterioration and flat-spotting, even if tread depth appears adequate. Finally, assess the general condition of suspension bushes and brake components, which can deteriorate from standing rather than use.
