2022 Toyota Yaris Design HEV CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · SH71 OBL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. In the MOT test conducted on February 2025 at 10,894 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met all DVSA safety and environmental standards without signs of mechanical failure or structural degradation as of that date. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,724 miles per year. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short trips or has remained stationary for extended periods rather than being subjected to high-distance commuting. While low mileage generally preserves wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits too long without regular use. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on the potential risks associated with low-mileage usage. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which often occurs on hybrid vehicles that are not driven frequently. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns, as the rubber ages over time despite low mileage. Given the hybrid powertrain, verify the high-voltage battery health status and ensure there are no fluid leaks from the engine bay that may have gone unnoticed during periods of inactivity.
