2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Excel HEV Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric · WR72 HNH

The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross Excel HEV Auto holds a current MOT that passed on 17 October 2025 at 25,188 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and broadly improving. The preceding test on 16 October 2025 failed on two items: a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a nearside rear child seat obstructing the adult seatbelt inspection. Both were rectified within 24 hours, suggesting prompt attention rather than neglect. No structural, braking, suspension, or emissions defects appear on record. Mileage accumulation is modest and consistent. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,300 miles per year since registration, which is typical for a hybrid petrol crossover used for mixed urban and short-distance journeys. The gap between the October 2025 tests shows only 55 miles added in a single day, consistent with a retest rather than genuine use. There are no suspicious jumps or prolonged gaps in the record that would indicate odometer tampering or long-term standing. The TPMS fault flagged on 16 October 2025 is worth verifying in person. A recurring or intermittent monitoring system fault can stem from a failing wheel sensor, a weak sensor battery, or wiring damage rather than a simple reset issue. Have the system live-data scanned to confirm all four sensors are communicating correctly and that no fault codes persist after the recent repair. The child seat restriction noted on both test dates is an administrative limitation, not a mechanical defect. It does not affect roadworthiness, but a buyer should still physically inspect the nearside rear adult seatbelt for correct retraction, anchorage security, and webbing condition once the child seat is removed. Given the low mileage and short age, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and exhaust hangers, remains sensible despite the clean MOT record. Brake condition, tyre age and tread depth, and hybrid battery health via a dealer diagnostic should form part of any pre-purchase assessment.
