2017 Toyota Yaris Design VVT-I 1.5L Petrol · JR02 MCA

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on July 8, 2024 at 23,809 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent performance across the last three years indicates that the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition without the recurring failures or structural degradation often seen in older cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,645 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 14,480 miles and the July 2024 test at 23,809 miles, the car covered 9,381 miles over twenty-seven months. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or fluid breakdown that does not always manifest as immediate MOT failures. While the MOT record shows no historical faults, a buyer should focus on specific areas affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the brake system for surface corrosion or pitting on discs, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors. The tester did not flag any issues, but checking the suspension bushes and tyre sidews for cracking or dry rot is vital given these materials age regardless of mileage driven. Ensure the service history reflects annual oil changes despite the low distance covered.
