Is the Yaris CVT reliable?

I am thinking of buying used (65 plate) Toyota Yaris petrol with a CVT automatic gearbox. Are you aware of any problems with the Yaris CVT box - or anything else with the car?

Toyota CVTs (along with Honda CVTs) are the most reliable CVTs. But, before you buy it, take it for a test drive and make sure you like the way it drives. Your Note has a 4-speed torque converter auto, but new Notes have an Aisin Warner CVT that has not been 100% reliable.
