2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LS68 NHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 30,513 miles was a pass, it revealed an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a failure in 2024 where the vehicle was flagged for suspension issues and headlamp misalignment, indicating that faults are only addressed after failing a formal inspection. At 30,513 miles over eight years, this Yaris reflects exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between October 2021 and July 2023, during which the car covered nearly 10,000 miles. This low-frequency use often leads to degradation of rubber components regardless of mileage, as evidenced by the 2023 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on both front tyres. The data suggests the car likely sat for long periods, which can dry out seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the suspension arm pin or bush was flagged in August 2024 at 28,007 miles. Although it passed the subsequent test, the recurring nature of rubber components in low-mileage vehicles suggests bushing fatigue. The edge wear noted on the 2025 tyre further indicates an alignment issue or worn bushes that require verification to prevent rapid premature tyre wear. Given the history of perished rubber, a physical check of the sidewalls on all tyres is essential to ensure they have not suffered from age cracking.
