2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · HG67 HDA

The 2017 Toyota Yaris presents a completely clean MOT record with zero defects flagged across all five tests. The most recent examination on 19 March 2026 at 26,633 miles passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever. This is an exceptionally rare outcome that indicates meticulous preventative maintenance and careful use. The trend is unambiguously stable and improving, as the vehicle has never presented a single defect in its entire documented MOT history spanning over three and a half years of testing. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of very light use. The vehicle covered approximately 4,024 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, 5,532 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 2,460 miles between the August 2023 and December 2022 tests. The annualised rate of roughly 2,959 miles per year over nine years is well below the UK average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. The gap between the December 2022 test and the August 2023 test shows a modest 1,465 miles over eight months, suggesting the car may have sat unused for extended periods. Low mileage of this nature can preserve mechanical components but also raises the question of whether seals, rubber bushes, and fluid systems have deteriorated from age rather than use. Despite the flawless record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Tyre sidewalls should be checked for perishing and date codes, as tyres older than six years can harden and crack regardless of remaining tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit close attention, since rubber components degrade with age and can develop splits even without the stress of high mileage. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that stand for long periods, which can lead to binding or uneven braking. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and box sections. Fluids including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid should be tested or replaced if service records are incomplete, as infrequent use can cause moisture accumulation and fluid degradation. The clean MOT history strongly suggests a well-cared-for vehicle, but age-related deterioration remains a legitimate concern that no test record can fully substitute for hands-on inspection.
