2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CU67 WHR

The vehicle presents a recent pass as of the 28 May 2026 test at 82,628 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical neglect. While the most recent MOT only flagged minor electrical issues regarding the registration plate lamp and a reduced intensity front position lamp, the preceding year was marked by a significant failure. The May 2025 failure at 74,210 miles highlighted several serious concerns, including a structural tyre failure on the nearside front and multiple brake-related issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 14,564 miles in August 2020 to the current 82,628 miles in May 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically helps prevent certain types of corrosion, though the recent brake issues suggest that component wear is becoming more frequent as the vehicle ages. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system. The records show a recurring pattern of brake disc deterioration and issues with service brakes. The May 2025 failure specifically noted pitted front discs, contaminated rear discs, binding nearside rear brakes, and excessive fluctuations in the rear service brakes. Although the vehicle passed the 2025 retest at 74,385 miles, the history indicates that the braking components have been a persistent weak point. Further attention should be paid to the tyres and general consumables. The 2025 failure for a tyre with a structural lump and the 2024 advisory for cracking on the edges of the offside front tyre suggest that the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with tyre replacement. Checking the current tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the condition of the windscreen wipers and lighting units is necessary to ensure the vehicle meets current standards.
