2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Icon HEV Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SB71 ACO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 6, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car achieved two clean sheets in its previous annual inspections. However, the most recent test introduced a minor defect regarding cracking or perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres, indicating the onset of age-related rubber degradation despite the vehicle's low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use patterns, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 13,745 miles in July 2024 to 21,106 miles in June 2025, and reaching 27,313 miles by the July 2026 test. This accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, which generally reduces wear on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres during a physical viewing, as the reported cracking suggests the rubber may be reaching its service limit due to age or periods of standing. Since the previous tests recorded no defects regarding brake components, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the mechanical history indicates a high standard of upkeep. The focus should remain on verifying that the hybrid system has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals to complement the positive MOT data.
