Long story short, 2014 hybrid Yaris won't start.

Turn the key, little groaning sound from the engine bay, check engine light comes on, that's your lot.

Gut naturally says it's a dead 12 car battery, called the diagnostic out anyway just to be sure. Mechanic tries to run the diagnostic, the machine doesn't work when it's plugged in.

He insists it's gonna be way more than a dead battery, thinks something serious has gone wrong and wants to pull it apart.

Thought I'd ask if anyone else has been through similar with a Yaris before I go for a second opinion.
