2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SM70 TYV

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-01 confirmed the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at 9,141 miles. This aligns with the previous two MOTs in 2025 and 2024, which also showed no issues despite the car being five years old. The consistent passing record suggests no immediate safety or repair risks based on the available data. The vehicle’s mileage of 9,141 miles over five years equates to roughly 1,828 miles per year, which is significantly lower than average for its age. This could indicate light usage, such as occasional city driving or limited road time, or periods of inactivity. Low mileage may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but could also lead to issues from prolonged standing, such as battery degradation or fluid stagnation. However, the MOT history does not highlight any such concerns. The trend in MOT outcomes is stable, with no recurring faults or escalating issues. The absence of defects in all three checks over 18 months suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and shows no signs of deterioration. However, the low mileage means it is difficult to assess long-term wear patterns, as typical usage-related stressors (e.g., engine wear, transmission fatigue) may not yet be evident.
