2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · MW18 TCO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-10 at 41,596 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-01-18 (35,869 miles) and 2024-01-23 (31,677 miles) also showed PASS outcomes, with no recorded issues. While a failed test is listed for the same date as a PASS, no defects were noted in either instance, suggesting either a data inconsistency or a non-critical failure. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical faults or advisories implies consistent upkeep, though the low mileage of 5,200 miles annually raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 41,596 miles at 8 years old aligns with a low annual average, which may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Gaps between MOT tests are standard, with the 2023-07-06 test at 28,918 miles preceding the 2024-01-23 test at 31,677 miles, a 2,759-mile increase over six months. This suggests sporadic usage rather than steady driving, which could affect components like the battery, tyres, and suspension. The lack of wear-related defects in the record is positive, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny for potential issues arising from inactivity, such as seized joints or fluid degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness or corrosion in these areas. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent use can lead to seizing. Corrosion risks, particularly in body panels or under the chassis, are heightened if the car was stored in a damp environment. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the low mileage and sparse data on consumables like tyres or wiper blades mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
