2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LM66 BBJ

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 2 February 2026 at 23,200 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from February 2022 through February 2026 yielded a clean result. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year documented history. Registered in 2017, the car has covered just 23,200 miles in roughly nine years, averaging 2,578 miles per year. The MOT record begins at 18,226 miles on 4 February 2022 and climbs modestly each winter: 19,577 miles in February 2023, 20,986 in January 2024, 22,296 in February 2025, and 23,200 in February 2026. Annual increments shrink from around 1,350 miles to under 1,000 miles, indicating lighter recent use. The unblemished sheets across all entries suggest the previous keeper maintained statutory testing punctually and kept basic upkeep current. Despite the fault-free history, a buyer should still physically inspect age-related components that low mileage does not shield. Rubber suspension bushes and brake caliper seals perish with time rather than distance, so probe for cracking or binding calipers after prolonged standing. Examine brake discs for surface corrosion and confirm exhaust emissions stay within limits given infrequent warm-up cycles. Structural integrity appears sound per tester notes, yet underside corrosion can develop on a car parked through seven winters. Verify chassis legs, sills, and subframe for rust pitting. Tyres may show sidewall ageing despite adequate tread, given the 2017 build date. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent even with flawless MOT data.
