Our Verdict
Highly recommended. This Toyota Yaris presents as an exceptionally well-maintained example with a flawless MOT record and consistent mileage growth.
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service records. Ensure the 1.5L petrol engine has had its oil and filter changed at the recommended intervals to maintain the longevity Toyota is known for. Check for a complete service book or digital history to confirm the car has been maintained to a professional standard.
Negotiate based on the remaining MOT duration and the condition of the consumables. While the car has passed its tests cleanly, check the tread depth of the tyres and the condition of the brake pads, as these are wear-and-tear items that may be nearing the end of their life despite a 'pass' result.
The 1496cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering a good balance between urban agility and motorway capability. You can expect competitive fuel economy and a relatively low annual road tax band typical for a vehicle of this engine size and age.
Insurance groups for the Yaris are generally low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or those looking to minimize monthly overheads. Maintenance costs are typically low due to the model's reputation for mechanical simplicity and reliability.
While the MOT history shows no defects across five tests (from 31,130 to 46,617 miles), you should still perform a physical inspection. Check the grey exterior paintwork for any minor stone chips or parking scuffs that wouldn't be noted on an MOT certificate.
Inspect the interior upholstery and controls for wear consistent with 46,000 miles. Since there are no recorded failures for suspension, brakes, or steering in the MOT data, a simple test drive should be sufficient to confirm the vehicle handles as expected.
This grey 2018 Toyota Yaris is in excellent condition based on its available data. With 46,617 miles on the clock as of September 2025, it has been used moderately and has passed every single MOT since 2022 without a single recorded defect. It represents a low-risk purchase for any buyer seeking a reliable petrol city car.
The Toyota Yaris is globally renowned for its exceptional build quality and mechanical longevity.
