2021 Toyota Yaris Excel HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NU21 AFJ

The vehicle's most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 at 23,960 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2025-04-07 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail on the same date at 17,896 miles, with no defects noted. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors but does not highlight mechanical concerns. The absence of critical failures in the latest test suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage progression shows a low annual average of 4,792 miles over five years, with a notable jump from 13,038 miles (2024-04-08) to 17,896 miles (2025-04-07), followed by a 6,064-mile increase to 23,960 miles by 2026-03-30. This pattern suggests intermittent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes, battery health, and corrosion resistance. The sparse defect history does not indicate systemic wear, but the low mileage may mask age-related degradation in non-consumable parts. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress, given the low usage and potential for prolonged inactivity. Check suspension components for stiffness or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue. Verify brake system functionality, including disc thickness and caliper movement, to confirm no hidden issues arose during periods of reduced operation. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude these checks, as they may not have been flagged in prior MOTs.
