2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · AE67 OVD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging component wear. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 43,306 miles passed, it introduced advisories that were absent in previous years. The presence of a damaged windscreen and pitted brake discs on both the nearside front and rear axles indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age-related corrosion and degradation despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between January 2022 and 2026, the car covered only 11,454 miles, suggesting a pattern of short trips or infrequent use. This low usage frequency often leads to specific issues with mechanical components, as evidenced by the 2022 report of the clutch biting high and the TPMS light recorded in 2025, which can stem from battery deactivation or sensor failure during long stationary periods. A buyer should personally inspect the braking system specifically, as the 2026 test flagged corrosion and pitting on the nearside front and rear discs. This condition is common in low-mileage cars where moisture builds up on the rotors, but it requires monitoring to ensure stopping performance remains consistent and to prevent calipers from seizing. The TPMS light mentioned in 2025 should be verified to ensure a sensor is not faulty, and the structural integrity of the bodywork should be checked for hidden rust, though the record has not flagged any structural defects to date.
