2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Design HEV Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG22 FDM

A clean roadworthiness record characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 18 April 2026 showing no defects. While the 2025 test included advisories regarding front tyre wear and a minor windscreen chip, the absence of any recorded failures or advisories in the latest inspection suggests a trend of resolving previously noted wear items. This transition from advisory status to a defect-free result indicates that the components flagged in the prior year have been addressed. The vehicle has covered 43,844 miles over its four-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,961 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles and suggests a steady rate of mechanical wear rather than the accelerated degradation associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential stagnation issues found in vehicles with significantly lower annual mileage. This level of usage implies that consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension components will be at a mid-life stage in their service cycle. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre condition, as the 2025 advisory noted both nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. On a test drive, it is essential to inspect the current tread depth across the entire width of the tyre to ensure even wear. Uneven wear on the edges can be a symptom of incorrect tyre pressures or alignment issues; therefore, the buyer should check for any steering pull or unevenness in the steering wheel while driving on a straight road. The minor windscreen damage noted in the 2025 record should also be verified to ensure it has been repaired or replaced, as even small chips can propagate into larger cracks under thermal stress. While no mechanical failures were recorded, the previous mention of tyre edge wear warrants a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushes. During the test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces, which could indicate that the suspension components responsible for maintaining tyre contact and alignment are nearing the end of their service life.
