2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · PK19 YAV

The 2019 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 20 April 2026 at 33,398 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is a significant step up from the 2023 test, where both front tyres were flagged as worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges. The subsequent two consecutive clean passes indicate the previous owner addressed the tyre wear issue promptly and has maintained the vehicle to a consistently high standard since. There are no recurring mechanical or structural faults in the record, which points to a well-kept car rather than one with lingering problems. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, steady use. From the first recorded test in April 2022 at 12,789 miles through to April 2026 at 33,398 miles, the car has covered roughly 20,600 miles over four years, averaging around 5,150 miles annually. That is low for a vehicle of this age and suggests predominantly short urban or suburban journeys rather than sustained motorway driving. The increments between tests are consistent: approximately 5,350 miles between April 2022 and March 2023, 5,600 miles between March 2023 and April 2024, and 6,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged periods of disuse. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection. The 2023 advisory on both front tyres wearing unevenly on the edges suggests possible suspension geometry issues, such as worn tracking or damaged suspension bushes, even though the problem appears to have been resolved through tyre replacement. Have the front suspension, including drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and strut mounts, checked for play or deterioration. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around the subframe and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage cars that sit unused for extended periods can develop surface rust that is cosmetic but worth verifying. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should also be inspected for corrosion or leaks, given the likelihood of short-trip driving that prevents moisture from burning off properly.
