2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · GL67 ODR

The 2017 Toyota Yaris presents a largely stable maintenance record, passing five consecutive MOTs without any dangerous or major defects. The most recent test on 2 May 2026 at 37,289 miles returned only a minor advisory for nearside front tyre cracking and perishing. This is a low-severity, age-related deterioration rather than a structural or mechanical failure. The trend is broadly stable, though the recurrence of nearside front tyre advisories in both the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a slow, ongoing degradation pattern rather than a one-off event. The mileage progression tells a consistent story of light use. Between June 2022 at 23,871 miles and May 2026 at 37,289 miles, the car covered roughly 13,400 miles across nearly four years, averaging around 3,350 miles annually. That sits below the typical UK average and aligns with the vehicle's age-adjusted profile of approximately 4,100 miles per year over its full life. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest the car was either standing idle for long periods or subjected to unusually heavy use. The record is clean and evenly spaced, which supports the picture of regular, low-intensity driving. The recurring nearside front tyre advisories warrant closer physical inspection. A buyer should examine the sidewall condition of that tyre carefully, checking for deep cracking, bulging, or perishing that could indicate prolonged exposure to UV, underinflation, or kerb damage. The repeated nature of the fault on the same corner raises the question of possible wheel alignment issues or a slow puncture history that may have caused uneven edge wear, as noted in the April 2025 test at 34,641 miles. While the advisory is minor, ignoring it risks a future failure if the deterioration accelerates. Beyond the tyres, the absence of any suspension, brake, or structural corrosion advisories across five tests is encouraging for a nine-year-old vehicle. A buyer should still inspect the underside for surface rust on subframes, brake lines, and suspension mounts, as low-mileage cars that sit unused can develop corrosion despite clean MOT records. The brake discs and pads, coil springs, and suspension bushes should be checked for condition commensurate with the recorded mileage. Overall, the record suggests a well-maintained, lightly used car with no serious mechanical red flags, though the persistent tyre advisory deserves prompt attention before purchase.
