Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a 2016 Toyota Yaris. The clean MOT history and low mileage make it a very strong candidate for a buyer seeking a dependable small hatchback.
When viewing this specific 2016 Yaris, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, a full service history is essential to confirm that the 1329cc engine has been maintained according to Toyota's schedules.
Given the low mileage, check that all interior controls, infotainment, and electrics function as expected, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from battery or component stagnation. Negotiate based on the documented service intervals rather than just the MOT pass status.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban and suburban driving. You can expect competitive fuel economy, which helps keep monthly budgets predictable.
Insurance groups for the Yaris are typically moderate, making it accessible for younger drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are generally considered manageable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brakes. Based on the current data, an estimated annual running cost is between £900-£1,150, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Although this vehicle has had no MOT failures, you should remain vigilant regarding common Yaris issues identified in aggregate data, specifically checking the condition of the tyres and the anti-roll bar components.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any early signs of corrosion, which is a top failure reason for this model across the wider dataset. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs, as these are standard wear items that should be assessed regardless of a 'no defect' MOT result.
This blue 1.3L petrol Toyota Yaris (MF16XNM) presents a very consistent MOT record with no recorded defects across its five most recent tests. With 44,520 miles recorded in November 2025, the mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 5,646 miles per year. The vehicle appears to have been used lightly, maintaining a very clean regulatory history since 2021.
The Toyota Yaris maintains a strong reputation, though aggregate data shows that corrosion, anti-roll bar issues, and tyre wear are the most common reasons for MOT failures across the model range.
