Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Prioritise a physical inspection of the windscreen, as it has been flagged as damaged in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests. You should negotiate the cost of a replacement or repair if the damage is significant. Check the service book to ensure the hybrid health checks have been performed at the recommended intervals to maintain the battery warranty.
Given the recurring tyre advisories, check the date codes on the current tyres. The 2026 MOT noted perishing on the rear tyres and under-inflation on the fronts, which may indicate a lack of regular pressure checks. Ensure the TPMS system is functioning correctly, as a warning light was noted in the most recent test.
The 1490cc hybrid engine and CVT transmission are designed for high urban fuel efficiency. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it benefits from low emissions charges and a competitive road tax bracket. Insurance for the Design trim is typically affordable, falling into a mid-range group.
Typical maintenance for this model is generally low, though tyre replacement is the most common failure point for the model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to fall between £900 and £1,200.
Carefully examine the windscreen for chips or cracks that have persisted since at least March 2024. Inspect all four tyres for signs of 'perishing' or cracking, specifically the rear pair as highlighted in the 2024 and 2026 MOT reports. Verify that the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light is now extinguished and the system is operational.
Check the wiper blades, which were flagged as defective in 2025, to ensure they have been replaced. Finally, perform a test drive to ensure the CVT transmission operates smoothly, as is expected for this powertrain.
This grey 2020 Toyota Yaris Design HEV has recorded 32,498 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The vehicle has a clean record of four consecutive MOT passes. However, the most recent history shows persistent advisories concerning tyre condition and windscreen damage.
The Yaris HEV has a very strong reliability reputation, supported by an aggregate MOT pass rate of 93.2% across over 57,000 vehicles.
