2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · NJ18 VTN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 March 2026 at 10,849 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable and positive trend over the last five years. This flawless record suggests the vehicle has remained in a good condition without the mechanical degradation or structural failures typically seen in older cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,356 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 5,524 miles and March 2025 at 9,988 miles, the car covered only 4,464 miles over three years. This minimal usage indicates the vehicle likely performed only short trips, which places limited stress on the engine drivetrain and suspension components. While low mileage reduces the risk of wear-related failures, it often introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect the car for signs of low-mileage neglect. Priority should be checking the tyres for flat spotting or dry cracking, as rubber degrades regardless of distance driven. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when brakes are not used regularly. Additionally, verifying the fluid levels and checking for moisture in the oil is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from long periods of inactivity.
