2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · BN17 ABU

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 February 2026 at 50,555 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that all previous mechanical or safety issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows intermittent failures in prior years, the clean pass in the two most recent inspections suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 5,617 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 46,535 miles and the February 2025 test at 48,355 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,820 miles, suggesting consistent low use. This low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher averages, though low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or corrosion of brake calipers if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the resolution of the faults that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not detail the exact nature of those defects. Given the intermittent nature of these failures, a physical inspection should focus on signs of seizing in brake components or perished suspension bushes, which are common in low-mileage cars. Checking the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking is also advisable, as the low usage may have masked structural degradation of the rubber over the nine-year span.
