2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · FG67 SYJ

The 2017 Toyota Yaris presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 11 July 2025 at 39,998 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating that all mechanical, structural, and exhaust emissions systems met the required roadworthiness standards at the most recent inspection. This unblemished record over the last five years suggests a diligent ownership pattern, with no recurring faults or worsening mechanical issues to flag. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of low-mileage usage. Between the July 2021 test at 24,722 miles and the July 2025 test at 39,998 miles, the vehicle covered just 15,276 miles over four years, averaging approximately 3,819 miles annually. The yearly increments remain remarkably steady, ranging from 3,100 to 3,250 miles per year, with no sudden spikes or significant gaps in the recording history. Such low annual mileage typically points to short, local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving, which carries specific implications for component wear. Despite the clean MOT record, the low-mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of components prone to deterioration from prolonged standing and short trips. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, as low annual usage often means the original rubber ages out before it wears out. The brake discs and pads require scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common issue when a vehicle sits for extended periods between short runs. Suspension bushes and coil springs must be checked for perishing and corrosion, as light use does not necessarily prevent rubber degradation or surface rust on steel components. Inspecting the exhaust system for condensation-related corrosion and verifying the condition of the battery and charging system will round out a thorough assessment of a vehicle that has led a gentle but potentially stationary life.
