2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · SC18 BBJ

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in February 2026 yielded a pass but marked the first deviation from a previously clean record, with the tester flagging a slightly noisy nearside rear wheel bearing. Prior to this, the MOT history from 2022 through to 2025 indicates that the car operated without any significant mechanical or structural failures for several years. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,155 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 18,011 miles and February 2026 at 41,237 miles, the car covered 23,226 miles, suggesting light urban use or infrequent travel. While this low mileage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to dry seals or the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside rear wheel bearing to determine if the noise has progressed to a point requiring immediate replacement. Given the low overall mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently-used vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. Assessing the integrity of the suspension bushes and checking for perished cracks is also advisable, although the historical data does not currently suggest any structural rust issues for the vehicle's age.
