CarHunch analysed 135 real MOT records for the 2019 Toyota Yaris Icon Vvt I. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Toyota Yaris Icon VVT-i is exceptionally reliable, with a 97% first-time MOT pass rate that towers 17 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—and critically, zero vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect. This is a car that simply works, asking very little of its owners in terms of repairs or attention.
At a median mileage of just over 30,800 miles for a five-year-old car, these examples are running well within normal wear patterns, and the near-zero failure rate (0.02 failures per vehicle on average) confirms they're holding up effortlessly. When shopping for one, focus your inspection on service history and accident damage rather than mechanical faults; this model's track record suggests mechanical gremlins are genuinely rare.
What to check before buying a 2019 Toyota Yaris Icon Vvt I
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
