2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SL51 ANO

The 2017 Toyota Yaris has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 11 June 2025 confirming no defects at 58,289 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all recorded tests—including the near-simultaneous pass and fail at 44,818/44,819 miles in May 2024—suggests a stable maintenance pattern. While the 2024 anomaly (a single-mile discrepancy between pass and fail) is unusual, it does not indicate recurring mechanical issues. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural checks remains uncompromised, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in non-tested areas. Mileage progression reveals a steady usage rate of approximately 6,477 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests occurs between June 2023 (35,077 miles) and May 2024 (44,819 miles), spanning roughly 11 months—slightly longer than the standard 12-month MOT interval but not excessive. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity, though the 2024 pass/fail at nearly identical mileages may warrant scrutiny of whether the vehicle was subjected to a rushed or incomplete pre-test service. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were flagged in the 2024 anomaly. The brake calipers and discs should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as repeated braking loads could accelerate deterioration despite passing tests. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, especially around the sills and wheel bearings, given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure to road salt. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
