2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · KE66 VRD

The 2017 Toyota Yaris presents a consistent history of passing its annual examinations over its nine-year life. The most recent test in January 2026 at 13,062 miles showed the vehicle passing with only an advisory for a deteriorated registration plate. This is a minor cosmetic issue that does not impact structural integrity or mechanical performance. Looking back at the 2025 test at 5,950 miles, the vehicle remained in good condition, suggesting that the primary components have maintained their operational standards without major failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,450 miles per year. There is a significant jump between 2025 and 2026, where the recorded mileage increased from 5,950 to 13,062 miles. This low usage often results in less wear on components like brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes. However, the record from the 2023 test at 5,720 miles noted tyres with cracking or perishing on both front corners. This is a common symptom for cars that sit stationary for long periods, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Recurring issues in the record relate to minor consumable items rather than serious mechanical failures. The tester flagged a defective windscreen wiper blade in 2024 and a missing side repeater in 2023, both of which are simple external repairs that were resolved in subsequent tests. There are no recorded failures regarding structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or brake systems across the entire history. A buyer should still verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the fluids, as the low mileage can mask age-related degradation of rubber hoses and components.
