Our Verdict
This 2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV is a s
Ask the seller for any available service records, especially for the hybrid battery and the CVT gearbox, as these are not captured by MOT data. Confirm whether the front tyres have been replaced since the 2026 MOT, as the test highlighted wear close to the legal limit. If the tyres are near the end of their life, negotiate a price reduction to cover replacement costs.
Check the vehicle's MOT certificates for any recurring advisories; while this car shows only tyre wear, the model's aggregate data lists windscreen wiper and shock absorber failures as common issues. Verify that the wipers and suspension components have been inspected or serviced recently. Finally, ensure the car has a valid MOT for the next year and that any outstanding recalls for the 2021 Yaris have been addressed.
The Yaris Design HEV typically achieves around 55 mpg (WLTP) on combined driving, translating to modest fuel expenses for an average UK driver. As a Euro 6 hybrid, the annual road tax falls in the lower band (often £0‑£20). Insurance groups for this model are usually in the 12‑14 range, leading to moderate premiums. Routine maintenance for a hybrid Yaris is comparable to conventional models, with typical annual servicing costs of £150‑£250. Including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, the estimated annual running cost is roughly £800‑£1,050.
Hybrid batteries generally retain good capacity for the first eight to ten years, but a battery health check is advisable for peace of mind. Tyre replacement, if required, will add £200‑£300 per set, which should be factored into the overall running cost calculation.
Inspect the front tyres closely for tread depth and any signs of uneven wear, as the 2026 MOT noted they were close to the legal limit. Uneven wear could indicate alignment or suspension issues that may need attention.
Examine the suspension components, particularly the shock absorbers, since the model's aggregate MOT failures list shock absorber problems among the top reasons for failure. Look for any leaking fluid, excessive bounce, or unusual noises when the car is driven over bumps.
Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and washer system, another common failure point for this model. Ensure the wiper blades are not cracked and that the washer fluid sprays correctly. Also, request a diagnostic readout of the hybrid battery health to confirm there are no hidden issues not captured by MOT records.
The white 2021 Yaris Design HEV CVT has logged 35,985 miles and passed four MOT tests, with only minor tyre wear noted in the most recent test. Its mileage is marginally above the model's average annual mileage of 6,406 miles but remains within a typical range for a five‑year‑old car. The hybrid powertrain benefits from Euro 6 compliance, offering lower emissions and running costs. Overall, the vehicle presents a low‑risk profile, though the front tyre wear should be addressed.
The Yaris Design HEV enjoys a high overall MOT pass rate of 92.9% across 57,696 vehicles, indicating generally reliable performance.
