2021 Toyota Yaris Cross Prem ED HEV 4X4 A 1.5L Hybrid electric · NL03 AJL

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no recorded defects in its most recent MOT on 2025-05-30 at 21,669 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the prior test in 2024-10-08 at 17,938 miles also showed no issues. No advisories or critical failures were flagged in either assessment, indicating consistent adherence to mechanical standards. The mileage of 21,669 miles over five years equates to an average of 4,334 miles annually, which is low for the vehicle’s age. This suggests infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can affect components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and fluid systems. The 7-month gap between MOTs—covering 3,731 miles—shows minimal usage, reinforcing the likelihood of reduced wear on consumables but potential stagnation in mechanical systems. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, and check suspension components for stiffness or uneven wear due to limited operation. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for binding or uneven pad wear, as low mileage can sometimes mask underlying issues. The absence of defects in the MOT history is positive, but the vehicle’s inactivity warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm no hidden deterioration has occurred.
