2022 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NG22 ADX

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2nd July 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the testing history, the vehicle demonstrates a stable and consistent maintenance trend, as the previous MOT in June 2025 also returned a pass without any noted issues. This indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all current DVSA safety and environmental standards, suggesting a reliable level of upkeep by the previous owner. The recorded mileage of 33,548 miles for a four-year-old vehicle equates to an annual average of approximately 8,387 miles. This usage level is well within the expected range for a modern hybrid and suggests a balanced driving profile that avoids the extremes of heavy commercial wear or the potential issues associated with very long periods of inactivity. While the mileage is relatively moderate, it is important to confirm that the vehicle has been driven frequently enough to maintain the health of the hybrid battery system and to prevent the buildup of moisture in the mechanical components. Since the MOT history is entirely clear of defects, your inspection should focus on age-related items and preventative maintenance. Examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur as rubber ages regardless of tread depth. During your test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunks or knocks that might indicate worn bushes or dampers, and check the braking performance for any shudder or pulling to the side, which could suggest unevenly worn discs or binding calipers. Furthermore, you should verify the service book to ensure that all manufacturer-recommended intervals have been met, particularly regarding time-based fluid changes. Even with moderate mileage, brake fluid and engine coolant should be replaced according to the schedule to prevent degradation. For this specific hybrid model, check that the 12V auxiliary battery is in good health and that the CVT transmission operates smoothly without any hesitation or unusual vibration. Finally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion that may not have been significant enough to trigger an MOT advisory but warrants attention.
