2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP17 AEE

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 May 2026 at 59,461 miles which returned no defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a problematic period in mid-2025. While previous tests identified several wear-related issues, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the mechanical and consumable concerns flagged in prior years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a gap of roughly 5,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,700 miles between 2025 and 2026. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on braking components if not regularly utilised. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that have shown recurring wear. The June 2025 test at 54,739 miles flagged a noisy offside front wheel bearing and a pitted offside rear brake disc, alongside worn rear tyres. Although the latest test passed, the buyer must verify the wheel bearing remains silent and the brake surfaces are not degraded. Additionally, the history of failing for low tread depth in 2022 and 2025 indicates a pattern of running tyres until they reach the legal limit, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and even wear across all axles.
