2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · SW68 SVL

The maintenance trend for this 2018 Toyota Yaris remains stable, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-10-09 at 37,115 miles resulting in a clean pass after rectifying initial defects. The same-day failure flagged a non-effective front wiper and a non-functioning nearside rear stop lamp, both minor visibility and electrical items that were evidently repaired prior to the pass. No serious structural or mechanical faults appear in the record, indicating the vehicle's core roadworthiness is sound. Covering roughly 4,639 miles annually, the mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, reflecting light usage without long periods of inactivity. The recorded intervals show consistent accumulation: 20,962 miles in August 2022, 26,020 miles in August 2023, 30,577 miles in September 2024, and 37,115 miles in October 2025. This steady progression suggests regular, light-duty driving without significant gaps in the testing schedule. Despite the clean overall record, the September 2024 test at 30,577 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and scuffed on the edge. Edge wear typically points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes, so a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and tracking is advisable. The October 2025 failure for a defective stop lamp and smearing wipers points to basic consumable neglect, likely stemming from the low annual mileage causing bulbs and rubber to degrade from age rather than use. A buyer should inspect the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking due to prolonged standing, and verify the operation of all lighting circuits before purchase.
