2022 Toyota Yaris Excel HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · BK22 GZG

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a clean pass on 27 April 2026 and a lack of major failures. The only notable mechanical deviation occurred during the April 2025 inspection, where both nearside and offside front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. The absence of these advisories in the latest test indicates that the braking surface issues have been addressed or have ceased to be a concern. The recorded mileage of 13,623 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,406 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation typically results in minimal wear on the engine, CVT transmission, and suspension components. However, this usage pattern is often associated with shorter trips or periods of inactivity, which can contribute to the type of surface corrosion observed on the brake discs in previous years. During a physical inspection and test drive, attention should be paid to the front braking system to ensure the previously flagged pitting has been fully rectified. The driver should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation during deceleration, which would indicate that the brake discs remain uneven or warped. Any audible grinding or scraping noises when applying the brakes would also suggest that the disc surfaces are not smooth. Given the hybrid nature of the drivetrain and the low mileage, it is important to verify that the brake calipers are not binding. This can be checked by ensuring the vehicle rolls freely when in neutral on a slight incline and by feeling for excessive heat emanating from the front wheels after a short drive. Confirming the current thickness and condition of the brake pads alongside the discs will provide a complete picture of the remaining friction material.
