We report the results of a search for spontaneous magnetism due to a time reversal symmetry breaking phase in the superconducting state of (110)-oriented YBCO films, expected near the surface in this geometry. Zero field and weak transverse field measurements performed using the low-energy muon spin rotation technique with muons implanted few nm inside optimally-doped YBCO-(110) films show no appearance of spontaneous magnetic fields below the superconducting temperature down to 2.9 K. Our results give an upper limit of ~0.02 mT for putative spontaneous internal fields.
