2021 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WP71 JTZ

The 2021 Toyota Yaris Icon Hybrid presents a highly stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 19 December 2025 at 20,474 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent test confirms the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards without compromise. This unblemished record suggests a conscientious approach to routine maintenance, with no mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. Evaluating the mileage accumulation against the vehicle's age reveals a notably low-usage pattern, averaging approximately 4,095 miles per year. Between the 2024 test on 9 December at 18,748 miles and the 2025 test on 19 December at 20,474 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,726 miles over a twelve-month period. Such light usage typically spares high-wear consumables and drivetrain components from rapid degradation, though prolonged periods of standing can sometimes lead to issues like brake disc surface corrosion or tyre flat-spotting, neither of which manifested here. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent to verify the condition of components that low-mileage hybrids often mask. The tester flagged no structural corrosion or suspension wear, yet a buyer should personally examine the brake discs for superficial rust from short trips and check the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which can suffer from infrequent charging cycles on vehicles covering minimal mileage. Tyre condition also warrants close scrutiny, as low annual mileage means the original rubber may still be fitted, potentially suffering from age-related cracking rather than tread wear. The hybrid battery's state of health and the condition of the regenerative braking system should also be verified, as these are critical to the vehicle's long-term efficiency and operational integrity.
