2018 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · VE18 VFG

The vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards. The July 2025 test at 68,094 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding failure in August 2024 highlighted a defective front windscreen wiper, inoperative nearside and offside registration plate lamps and a parking‑brake efficiency issue. The subsequent pass indicates those faults have been rectified, marking an improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation of 68,094 miles over eight model years equates to roughly 8,500 miles per annum, a normal figure for a 2018 model. The log shows a gradual increase: 47,023 miles in July 2021, 54,692 miles in August 2022 (+7,669), 58,873 miles in August 2023 (+4,181), 64,831 miles in August 2024 (+5,958) and the latest 68,094 miles in July 2025 (+3,263). The recent slowdown suggests lighter usage. MOT entries are spaced within the standard 12‑month window, with the most recent test just over a year old. A prospective buyer should inspect the parking‑brake actuation, test the rear‑wheel bearing for audible noise, verify both nearside and offside registration plate lamps illuminate correctly and operate the front windscreen wiper to confirm effective clearing. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear, suspension bushes checked for cracking or excessive wear, and the under‑body assessed for corrosion or rust, particularly around wheel arches and the exhaust mountings. Visual checks of the wiper blades, lamp filaments and any advisory items from past tests will reveal whether the previously flagged defects have been fully resolved.
