2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SW21 HZC

Based on the supplied DVSA MOT records, the 2021 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 4 June 2025 at 26,424 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This follows an equally clean pass on 6 June 2024 at 21,586 miles. With no advisories or failures across both recorded tests, the maintenance trend is firmly stable, indicating no emerging mechanical or structural deterioration over the monitored period. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, the odometer increased by 4,838 miles, bringing the total recorded mileage to 26,424. Averaging roughly 5,285 miles per annum over five years, this falls well below the UK typical annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. Such low usage can reduce wear on consumable components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of inactivity may warrant attention to fluid condition and tyre age-related cracking. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of hybrid-specific components not always fully exercised during a standard MOT. The high-voltage battery health and inverter coolant condition are critical on this powertrain, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Examine the underside for any signs of corrosion to brake lines, exhaust hangers, and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles stored on driveways or uneven surfaces can still develop localised rust. A test drive should specifically assess the regenerative braking system for smooth transitions between hydraulic and electric braking phases, and listen for any unusual drivetrain whine from the CVT transmission under gentle acceleration. Inspect all four tyres for date codes and sidewall condition, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. While the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical concerns, verifying the condition of the front lower suspension arms, rear beam bushings, and exhaust system mountings will provide further assurance that this lightly used hybrid has been properly maintained throughout its short life.
