2022 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PL22 AAE

The vehicle presents a clean bill of roadworthiness based on the most recent certification. The test conducted on 28 July 2025 at 13,408 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the primary mechanical and safety-critical components met all DVSA standards without requiring intervention at the time of the inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,352 miles per year. This low-usage pattern suggests minimal exposure, which typically reduces the wear on high-stress components like suspension bushings and brake friction material. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to specific issues such as flat spotting on tyres or surface corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between journeys. Since the MOT history is sparse and lacks recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the effects of low-mileage operation. A prospective buyer should check the tyres for uneven wear or sidewall cracking and verify that the brake rotors are free of heavy surface pitting. Given the hybrid powertrain, it is also essential to confirm that the service history matches the low mileage to ensure the battery health and hybrid system remain within optimal operating parameters.
