2016 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · VF16 AEE

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. Although the most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 32,862 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate re-test pass with no recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor item that was rectified instantly, as the subsequent history shows a completely clean sheet with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,286 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 12,114 miles and the July 2025 test at 32,862 miles, the car covered 20,748 miles. This consistent low-usage profile indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to average-run examples. However, such low mileage often implies the vehicle sits for long periods, which can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or internal corrosion in brake surfaces. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting and ensure the calipers move freely despite the lack of frequent use. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking, as these materials age by time regardless of tread depth. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or fluid leaks, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears sound, provided the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment.
