2020 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WG70 KNF

A clean safety record, punctuated only by recurring minor windscreen damage advisories, defines the mechanical profile of this 2020 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT. The most recent MOT on 18 December 2025 recorded a pass with no failures, continuing a three‑year trend of passes that have never flagged structural, braking or emissions concerns. The only repeat advisory concerns a front windscreen imperfection that does not impair the driver’s view, indicating that the vehicle’s core safety systems have remained intact throughout its MOT history. At 46 887 miles the car averages roughly 7 800 miles per year, a usage pattern that sits comfortably within typical UK private‑car expectations for a six‑year‑old model. The annual mileage suggests regular, moderate driving rather than prolonged idle periods or extreme high‑speed use, which generally translates to predictable wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components. No gaps appear in the MOT chronology, confirming the vehicle has been kept on the road and subjected to the required annual inspections without prolonged out‑of‑service intervals. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the windscreen condition noted in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. Inspect the glass for any progression of chips or cracks, especially around the edges where moisture ingress can develop. Verify that the wiper blades make full contact and that the washer system clears the surface without streaking, as deteriorating glass can allow water to pool and obscure vision at speed. During a test drive, listen for wind‑related turbulence or whistling that may indicate compromised sealing, and check the interior for any signs of dampness or fogging that would betray a leak. Beyond the windscreen, a practical road‑test checklist should include a feel for the steering response—any pull to one side or vague feedback may hint at worn suspension bushes or alignment drift. Apply the brakes firmly and note any judder, pulsation or excessive pedal travel, which could reveal pad or disc wear not captured by the MOT. Finally, with a hybrid powertrain, confirm that the regenerative braking engages smoothly and that the dashboard displays no warning lights related to the battery or electric motor, ensuring the vehicle’s electronic systems are as reliable as its mechanical ones.
