2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · WG19 LKN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor mechanical failure that required immediate attention. In the March 2026 test at 38,748 miles, the car failed due to a rough offside rear wheel bearing and a damaged offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed the retest the following day at 38,750 miles, the presence of a wheel bearing fault suggests that components are beginning to age or wear out despite the clean records in the previous three years. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2025, the car covered 15,381 miles, showing a very stable usage pattern. The jump from 29,886 miles in 2025 to 38,750 miles in 2026 follows this established annual trend. This low usage often leads to gradual degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, despite the low mileage on the odometer. A buyer should personally inspect the offside rear assembly to ensure the replacement wheel bearing was fitted correctly and that no play or noise remains. The tester also noted a damaged offside rear tyre, so the sidewall integrity and tread depth of all tyres must be verified. Given the history of no recorded defects between 2023 and 2025, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but the recent failure warrants a check for signs of suspension wear or brake corrosion which can sometimes affect low-mileage cars that age..
