2013 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · WF13 AOV

The most recent MOT test on 2 January 2026 indicates a passed status, though the record shows a worsening trend regarding braking components and tyre condition. While the vehicle passed, the tester issued four separate advisories for brake discs on all four corners, noting they are worn, pitted, or scored. The same test also flagged a nearside rear tyre for cracking or perishing. This represents a significant increase in advisories compared to the 2024 and 2022 tests, where issues were limited to single tyre wear advisories. The vehicle has covered 63,351 miles over its 13-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,873 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with the recorded data, though the 2026 advisory regarding a perishing tyre suggests the vehicle may spend extended periods stationary, which can lead to rubber degradation. There are no recorded mileage jumps between the 2022, 2024, and 2026 tests that suggest unusual recent usage. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The widespread pitting and scoring on all four brake discs mentioned in the January 2026 test suggest that the discs may require replacement soon to prevent further deterioration or reduced stopping efficiency. The presence of under trays obscuring components, as noted in the 23 February 2024 test, means a technician may need to remove these covers to fully inspect the chassis, suspension bushes, and brake lines for corrosion or leaks. The recurring tyre advisories across 2022, 2024, and 2026 indicate that tyre maintenance is a frequent requirement for this vehicle. Given the 2026 advisory for cracking and perishing, the rubber integrity should be checked for sidewall damage. Focus should also be placed on the brake pads to ensure they have not been excessively worn by the pitted discs. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
