2015 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YY15 AOO

The 2015 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 52,681 miles recording zero defects. That clean sheet follows three consecutive flawless annual tests stretching back to September 2022, a run that signals consistent basic upkeep and no emerging mechanical faults. The only defect in the entire history was a minor advisory for a worn nearside front tyre on 4 March 2022 at 36,428 miles, a consumable item that was evidently corrected before the September 2022 test. The mileage pattern reinforces the impression of careful, low-intensity use. Between the March 2022 and September 2025 tests, the car covered just 16,253 miles over roughly three and a half years, averaging around 4,600 miles annually. That is well below the typical UK annual figure of 7,000 to 8,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. The steady but modest accumulation, with no sudden jumps between tests, suggests regular short-to-medium journeys rather than prolonged standing, which is favourable for preventing seized brakes, perished rubber components, and fuel system condensation issues. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection. Low-mileage cars can suffer from infrequent use, so check the condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and date stamps, even if tread depths are adequate. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop quickly on a vehicle that sits idle for extended periods. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for perishing or weeping, as low annual mileage does not eliminate age-related rubber degradation. A short test drive should confirm smooth gear changes, no clutch slip under load, and no pulling or binding from the braking system.
