2021 Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5L Hybrid electric · PO71 FMF

The 2021 Toyota Yaris Cross presents a clean bill of health on its MOT record. The most recent test on 11 April 2026 at 22,983 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures, and the same was true of the 21 April 2025 test at 15,356 miles. This is a stable and improving maintenance trend, with no recurring faults or emerging mechanical concerns flagged across both inspections. At roughly five years old with 22,983 miles recorded, the annual average sits around 4,597 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression between the two tests shows an accumulation of 7,627 miles over the twelve-month period from April 2025 to April 2026, which is a reasonable and consistent rate of use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest the car has been standing idle for extended periods or subjected to unusually hard use. With a completely defect-free MOT record, there are no recurring structural or mechanical faults to flag for closer inspection. That said, buyers should still carry out a thorough in-person examination. The low annual mileage means the vehicle may have been used predominantly for short trips, which can lead to incomplete engine warm-ups, increased condensation in the oil and exhaust system, and potential DPF regeneration issues if applicable. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion, check the condition of tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking regardless of tread depth, and verify that the suspension components, brake discs, and calipers have not developed any stickiness or uneven wear from prolonged stationary periods. A short test drive at varied speeds will confirm whether the drivetrain, steering, and braking systems perform as expected under real-world conditions.
