2022 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN72 UTB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a similarly clean pass in August 2025. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, structural issues, or emissions non-compliance being flagged by the DVSA. Based on these records, the vehicle's essential safety and environmental integrity appears to be well-maintained and consistent. The recorded mileage of 18,336 miles for a vehicle that is approximately four years old represents a significantly low annual average of roughly 4,584 miles. This usage profile suggests the car has been used sparingly, which generally implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system compared to a higher-mileage equivalent. However, low-mileage vehicles that undergo infrequent use can sometimes suffer from different types of degradation, such as fluid stagnation or component seizure, which are not always captured during a standard MOT inspection. During your physical inspection and test drive, you should focus on age-related deterioration rather than component wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or dry rot, which can occur even if the tread depth remains high due to the age of the rubber. Check the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, which can develop if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, and listen for any binding or squealing from the calipers. It is also vital to verify that the service history includes time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid and engine coolant replacements, as these are essential for hybrid systems regardless of the low mileage. Finally, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is in good health, as infrequent usage can often lead to unexpected battery degradation.
