2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LP17 AFV

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history of clean passes and minimal mechanical intervention. The most recent test on 2025-11-21 recorded no defects, maintaining a stable trend seen across the majority of its testing life. The only deviation from this pattern was a single failure in December 2021 due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The recorded mileage of 2,961 miles over nearly nine years is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 329 miles per year. This usage pattern indicates the vehicle has spent the vast majority of its life stationary. While this results in minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, it introduces specific risks associated with long-term inactivity rather than operational wear and tear. Inspection should focus on components prone to degradation during periods of standing, despite the lack of recorded advisories. Specifically, check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can manifest as a pulling sensation during braking or an overheating smell from the wheels after a short drive. Ensure the steering remains fluid and free of notches or resistance, as seals can dry out when a vehicle is not used regularly. Confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring system, which caused the 2021 failure, is fully operational with no active warning lights on the dashboard. While the DVSA records show no evidence of oil misting or structural corrosion, a physical check of the underbody for surface rust is advised given the age of the vehicle. The absence of repeated advisories for suspension bushes or coil springs suggests the chassis remains in a stable condition.
