2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · S40 YAH

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 25 June 2026 resulting in a pass after a brief failure. The failure was limited to a non-compliance issue regarding the offside windscreen wiper's ability to clear the glass effectively, which was rectified to achieve the passing result. Aside from this specific minor mechanical failure, the vehicle has maintained a clean record through its 2025 and 2024 inspections, showing no recorded defects or advisories across the documented testing period. The recorded mileage of 53,866 miles over approximately five years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 10,773 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this suggests a steady rate of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, rather than the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential degradation from long periods of inactivity. Given the specific failure recorded in June 2026, a prospective buyer should verify that the windscreen wiper system operates smoothly without intermittent stalling or streaking. While the failure was noted as a major defect regarding the offside wiper's effectiveness, it is worth checking the wiper motor for any unusual noise and ensuring the wiper blades themselves are not perished or causing smears, as this can impact visibility during adverse weather. Because the MOT history shows no advisories regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or suspension components, there are no specific mechanical symptoms like knocking from suspension linkages, binding calipers, or uneven tyre wear indicated by the official records. However, during a test drive, it remains standard practice to check for any steering pulls or vibrations that might suggest issues not captured in the MOT testing parameters, though the current DVSA data provides no evidence of such faults.
