2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RA05 YCL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 10 January 2026 at 25,846 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in early January 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that the identified issue was rectified promptly and the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard since. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,230 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 6,245 miles, suggesting a history of short urban trips or long periods of inactivity. This low usage typically results in minimal wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, low-mile operation can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of stagnation associated with low-mileage cars. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as the lack of frequent braking can fail to clear the metal surfaces. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, even if the tread depth remains high. The MOT history shows no historical structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but a visual check of the underside for any unexpected oxidation remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
