2017 Toyota Yaris Icon Hybrid VVT-I CVT 1.5L Electricity · CL02 ADA

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in March 2026 at 38,294 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and safety components have remained within DVSA tolerances without the development of recurring faults or progressive degradation often seen in higher-age vehicles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old hybrid, averaging approximately 4,255 miles annually. Between August 2021 at 19,458 miles and March 2026 at 38,294 miles, the car covered only 18,836 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests, such as the fourteen-month gap between December 2023 and December 2024, suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. This can sometimes lead to fluid degradation or rubber component neglect. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the specific risks of low-use vehicles. A buyer must check for flat spots on tyres and surface corrosion on brake discs which can occur during inactivity. The technician should also inspect suspension bushes for cracking due to age and verify the hybrid battery health, as low mileage does not prevent chemical aging. The lack of any recorded failures suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained despite its limited use.
