Used Toyota Yaris for Sale

The Toyota Yaris has long been the supermini of choice for buyers who value dependability above all, and the hybrid Yaris makes it one of the most efficient small cars on the road. Browse checked, prepared used Yaris models with Vertu, backed by our 14-day money-back promise and flexible finance.

Why Buy a Used Toyota Yaris?

Reliability is the Yaris's defining trait, built on Toyota's decades of hybrid experience and a reputation that consistently places it among the most dependable superminis you can buy. That reputation is exactly why it makes such a reassuring used purchase.

The fourth-generation Yaris pairs that dependability with genuinely low running costs, returning as much as 70.6mpg from its self-charging hybrid system with no need to plug in. On the used market, with the first owner having taken the early depreciation, a well-equipped, economical and long-lasting small car becomes very affordable.

Any remaining manufacturer warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every Yaris at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For a used supermini that keeps costs down year after year, the Yaris is hard to beat.

Is the Used Toyota Yaris a Good Buy?

Yes, particularly for drivers who want maximum efficiency without the complication of charging. Fourth-gen Yaris hybrids use a 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid, offered in 116hp and 130hp forms, both driving the front wheels through a smooth automatic gearbox.

The 116hp version returns up to 70.6mpg on the WLTP combined cycle with CO2 from 91g/km, while the 130hp adds a little more pace, cutting the 0-62mph time to 9.2 seconds. Both recharge their battery as you drive and run on electric power at low speeds, keeping fuel and running costs impressively low.

Every used Yaris sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used Yaris is a low-risk, low-cost supermini buy.

Who Is the Used Toyota Yaris Best For?

The Yaris suits a range of drivers. The table below pairs four buyer types with the version that fits them best.

Buyer Type Why the Yaris Fits
City and commuter drivers The self-charging hybrid runs on electric power at low speeds and returns up to 70.6mpg, keeping running costs low without any charging.
Buyers prioritising reliability Toyota's long-proven hybrid system and strong dependability record make the Yaris a low-worry used choice.
Younger or first-time drivers A compact footprint, easy automatic gearbox and extensive safety kit make the Yaris straightforward and reassuring to drive.
Buyers wanting a sporty look The GR SPORT grade adds unique 18-inch alloys, sports seats, a perforated leather steering wheel and bespoke suspension tuning.

What's It Like to Own a Used Toyota Yaris?

The Yaris is designed to make efficient motoring effortless. The self-charging hybrid needs no plugging in, servicing is straightforward through Toyota's extensive network, and its running costs are among the lowest in the class, which is why it appeals so strongly to cost-conscious buyers.

Inside, the fourth-gen car is well equipped, with an 8-inch to 10.5-inch touchscreen, depending on trim and vehicle age, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital driver display and, from Excel upward, a phone charger and dual-zone climate control. Toyota Safety Sense is standard across the range, bringing pre-collision braking, lane trace assist and adaptive cruise control.

Practicality is typical for a compact supermini, with a 286-litre boot and 60:40 split-folding rear seats. Once a Yaris reaches Vertu it's inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Toyota-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.

Used Toyota Yaris: Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Toyota Yaris Need Plugging In?

No. The Toyota Yaris uses a self-charging hybrid system, which recharges its battery through the engine and braking rather than from the mains. It runs on electric power at low speeds for lower fuel use, with no cable required.

That makes it a simple way to enjoy hybrid efficiency, returning up to 70.6mpg, without needing a home charger.

How Economical Is the Toyota Yaris?

The fourth-gen Yaris returns up to 70.6mpg on the WLTP combined cycle in 116hp form, with CO2 from 91g/km, making it one of the most economical superminis available. The 130hp version is barely less efficient at up to 67.2mpg.

Real-world economy is helped by the hybrid system running on electric power in town, though figures vary with driving style and conditions.

Is the Toyota Yaris a Reliable Used Car?

Yes. The Yaris has a strong reputation for reliability, built on Toyota's proven hybrid technology and consistently high dependability rankings. With regular servicing it is known for long, trouble-free ownership, and its widespread sales keep parts and servicing easy to access.

Every used Yaris at Vertu is inspected and prepared by our Toyota-trained colleagues before sale.

What Is the Difference Between the Yaris Engines?

Yaris fourth-gen cars use the same 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid engine in two outputs: 116hp and 130hp. Both share the same hybrid system, with the 130hp version offering slightly quicker acceleration, covering 0-62mph in 9.2 seconds against the 116hp car's 9.7 seconds.

For most drivers the 116hp version is more than adequate and marginally more economical.

How Much Boot Space Does the Toyota Yaris Have?

The fourth-gen Toyota Yaris offers 286 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, measured to the VDA standard, rising to 947 litres in two-seat mode with the rear seats folded.

The 60:40 split-folding rear seats add flexibility when carrying longer items alongside passengers.

What Does Vertu Check Before Selling a Used Toyota Yaris?

Every used Toyota Yaris sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt. That means confirmed free of outstanding finance, never used as a taxi, and free of any salvage or write-off history, alongside a full mechanical inspection.

That preparation also covers bodywork and wheel refurbishment, interior repairs where needed, and a minimum of six months or 6,000 miles before the next service or MOT is due. Full details are in our used car preparation policy.
