2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · GL67 YRJ

The 2017 Toyota Yaris remains roadworthy following the June 2025 MOT at 122,305 miles, having passed each annual test since 2020. The only failure recorded was near‑side play in the steering rack inner joint(s), a mechanical advisory that did not prevent passage, indicating a stable but wear‑prone maintenance record. Mileage has risen sharply relative to the vehicle’s nine‑year age, climbing from 54,755 miles in November 2020 to 122,305 miles by mid‑2025, an average of roughly 13,600 miles per year. The most pronounced increase occurred between June 2023 (96,393 miles) and June 2024 (117,444 miles), a 21,051‑mile jump that suggests intensified use or extended periods of operation without interim testing. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the steering rack for inner joint wear, examine tyre tread depth and wear patterns on both front wheels, and verify the condition of the off‑side front subframe mounting prescribed area flagged in 2022. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, as well as a check for structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and exhaust, will reveal whether the recurring defects reflect ongoing maintenance neglect or isolated component failure.
