2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · MF68 FCM

The 2018 Toyota Yaris presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 30 April 2025 at 23,753 miles returning a pass with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, stretching back to August 2018, has passed first time with no advisories or failures. This is an unusually strong record for a vehicle of this age, indicating consistent preventative care and no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation is notably low, averaging roughly 2,969 miles per year over eight years. Between the August 2021 test at 10,286 miles and the July 2022 test at 15,438 miles, the car covered 5,152 miles in approximately eleven months, suggesting a period of heavier use. Subsequent years show a steadier, lower pace, with 4,117 miles added between July 2022 and April 2023, and 2,011 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. The final recorded interval, from May 2024 to April 2025, added just 2,011 miles. The gap between the April 2025 test and today, 18 June 2026, is over thirteen months, meaning the current MOT has expired and the vehicle cannot be legally driven on public roads until retested. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and deteriorated rubber components such as suspension bushes and CV gaiters. The underbody and suspension mounting points should be examined for corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored or used on salted roads. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, deserves close attention given the low annual mileage. A test drive should confirm that the brakes do not pull or bind and that the steering remains free of play, as these issues can develop between tests on a vehicle used sparingly.
