2023 Toyota Yaris Cross Design HEV Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LM23 ADU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 67 880 miles, but the test recorded several advisories that affect its roadworthiness. The offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, a near‑side rear tyre contained an embedded nail, and the offside front shock absorber showed light oil misting. The near‑side rear registration plate lamp was inoperative and the near‑side front direction indicator lens was defective. With only a single MOT entry, the maintenance trend cannot be established; the cluster of advisories suggests that routine consumable checks may have been overlooked. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a three‑year‑old model. At roughly 22 600 miles per year the car has been used intensively, which places additional stress on tyres, suspension, brakes and drivetrain components. The MOT test is recent—only four months before the current date of 7 August 2026—confirming that the vehicle is still within the standard six‑month validity window and that the recorded conditions reflect current usage rather than historic wear. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, especially the offside front tread depth and the near‑side rear tyre for embedded debris. The shock absorber unit should be examined for oil leakage and free‑play in the suspension system. Lighting circuits require verification: the registration plate lamp must illuminate and the front direction indicator should emit a clear flash without lens defects. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of brake disc thickness, pad wear and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure that the intensive usage has not accelerated component degradation.
