2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV17 HHF

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 39,347 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A notable quirk appears in the records: on 16 February 2026 the car failed at 39,347 miles with no defects recorded, then passed one day later at identical mileage, and the same pattern occurred on 17 February 2025 with a fail at 34,874 miles followed by a pass at 34,853 miles. These administrative anomalies suggest clerical or submission errors rather than mechanical faults. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2017 registered vehicle. From the 22 February 2024 test at 30,298 miles, the car covered only 4,555 miles to the February 2025 reading of 34,853 miles, then a further 4,494 miles to the February 2026 figure of 39,347 miles. That averages under 4,400 miles per year, well below typical UK norms. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across the three years of records. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of any recorded advisories, the Yaris likely spent periods stationary, which can allow brake calipers to seize or tyres to develop flat spots from long standing. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries with zero defects mean no component was ever formally condemned, so no recurring mechanical trend exists to track. A buyer should still confirm in person that the braking system is free from binding calipers and that the structural integrity underneath shows no hidden corrosion the MOT did not capture. Prior to purchase, inspect the condition of consumables such as tyre tread and wiper blades, which the tests did not list as worn but may have aged through disuse. The clean record and low mileage imply a cautious previous owner, though the unexplained fail entries warrant a check of the V5C and any garage invoices to rule out suppressed fault history.
