2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AX72 BPE

The Toyota Yaris Hybrid tested on 20 October 2025 at 25,254 miles achieved a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all current roadworthiness standards at that point. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent MOT reflects no recurring issues or advisories that would suggest deteriorating mechanical health. The absence of any failings in the single available test record implies compliance with basic safety and emissions criteria, though the sparse data limits deeper historical insight. The recorded mileage of 25,254 miles over approximately four years—roughly 6,314 miles annually—falls within typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no visible gaps in service intervals or abrupt spikes in mileage to raise concern, though the lack of prior MOT records prevents confirmation of consistent upkeep. Without additional data, it’s impossible to determine whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes, suspension servicing, or brake inspections—has been consistently performed. Given the single clean MOT pass, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested in the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the hybrid battery system, particularly for any swelling, corrosion, or degraded cooling connections, as HEV-specific failures often emerge beyond the MOT’s scope. Examine the CVT transmission for unusual noises under acceleration or deceleration, as hybrid powertrains can mask early transmission wear. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes, particularly at the rear, where binding or uneven wear could indicate neglect. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in the MOT, should be inspected for uneven thickness or glazing, which may suggest inconsistent braking performance. Finally, assess the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust components, as the Yaris is prone to rust in these areas even at low mileages.
