2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Design HEV Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LY71 AEO

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 23 June 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed the inspection without any major failures or dangerous defects. The record indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting legal standards, suggesting that the primary mechanical and safety systems are functioning within acceptable operational parameters. At a recorded mileage of 34,991 miles in June 2025, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,750 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical annual usage for a four-year-old hybrid, suggesting the car has not undergone excessive strain on its drivetrain or braking components. The data is relatively sparse due to the young vehicle age, but the lack of high-mileage related failures indicates a history of consistent use rather than heavy-duty operation. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the offside and nearside rear shock absorbers. The tester flagged both for light misting of oil, which, while not causing an immediate failure, indicates the early stages of seal degradation. A buyer should verify if this misting remains or if it has progressed to a significant leak that would necessitate replacement to maintain handling performance. Given the low mileage, the suspension components are likely early in their life, but monitoring these seals is necessary to prevent future mechanical failure.
