2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Prem ED HEV 4X4 A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · ST22 GHH

A recent failure concerning the rear braking system defines the current mechanical record, specifically regarding significantly worn surfaces on both the nearside and offside rear inner brake discs. While the vehicle achieved a pass on 12 May 2026, this followed a failure just eight days prior, indicating that the rear discs required immediate replacement to meet roadworthiness standards. Prior to this, the record shows a clean pass in May 2025 with no defects, suggesting that the braking wear was a specific event rather than a chronic pattern of failure. The recorded mileage of 16,861 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,215 miles per year. This usage pattern typically results in reduced wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage examples. However, low annual accumulation can correlate with the type of brake disc wear observed here, where components may degrade due to infrequent use or environmental exposure rather than sheer mileage. During a test drive, focus specifically on the performance of the braking system to ensure the recent repairs were carried out to a professional standard. Listen for any grinding or scraping noises emanating from the rear of the vehicle during deceleration, which could indicate issues with the new discs or binding calipers. The brake pedal should feel firm and linear without any judder or pulsing, as any vibration felt through the pedal could suggest that the replacement discs are not seated correctly or are of inferior quality.
