2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PY68 DMZ

The 2018 Toyota Yaris has maintained a clean MOT record since its most recent test on 27 August 2025, with no defects or advisories recorded at 30,224 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for structural integrity, emissions, brakes, and suspension without incident. The consistent annual testing pattern—with no failures or advisories—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the lack of advisories also means no proactive warnings about wear items like suspension bushes or brake pads were documented. The most recent test was conducted just over nine months ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT validity period, but buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any private servicing or repairs since then. The recorded mileage of 30,224 miles over eight years equates to approximately 3,778 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of non-operation, which could impact fluid degradation (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) and tyre condition. Notably, there is a gap of just one day between the 2024 MOT tests—one pass and one fail—though both were recorded at the same mileage (26,161 miles), implying either a clerical error or a rare retest. The steady mileage increments between tests (roughly 4,777 miles per year) indicate no sudden spikes in usage that might have accelerated wear. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable items that are not routinely tested. Tyres, despite no MOT failures, may show uneven wear or low tread depth if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Brake pads and discs, while not flagged, should be checked for thickness and surface condition, as the lack of advisories could mean they were just within passing limits at the last test. Suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for leaks, corrosion, or excessive play, as these are not MOT-tested but critical for handling and safety. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT failure.
