2022 TOYOTA YARIS CROSS EXCEL HEV AUTO1.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on September 3, 2025 at 6,512 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the immediate failure recorded the previous day at 6,506 miles resulted in no documented defects. This suggests the initial failure may have been an administrative error or a technical glitch during the testing process rather than a genuine mechanical fault or structural deficiency. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,628 miles per year. This indicates minimal usage or significant periods of stationary storage. The six-mile gap between the failure and the pass in September 2025 confirms that the car has not been driven significantly between these testing events. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or seized brake components if not exercised regularly. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection to check for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Specifically, examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers which often occur when a vehicle sits for months. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear or sidewall cracking despite the deep tread depth. Given the clean MOT record, the mechanical integrity of the hybrid system likely remains sound, but verifying the service history to ensure time-based oil intervals were followed despite the low mileage is essential.
