2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR17 LNM

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though recent testing shows a slight uptick in minor consumable defects. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 17,786 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged an offside front outer tyre worn close to the legal limit and a defective side repeater lens. This follows a pattern of minor maintenance issues rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2017 vehicle, averaging fewer than 2,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth from 6,181 miles in March 2020 to the current 17,786 miles. This low usage pattern suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to uneven tyre wear or issues with seals and batteries, which aligns with the edge wear noted on tyres in both February 2024 and February 2026. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and wheel alignment. The recurrence of tyres being worn on the edges, specifically at 12,694 miles in February 2024 and again at 17,786 miles in February 2026, indicates a potential ongoing tracking or suspension geometry issue. I recommend a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and steering components to ensure this edge wear is not caused by mechanical play. The history also shows minor electrical and bodywork issues, such as the side repeater failure in February 2025 and a damaged door mirror case in February 2026. While these do not impact the fundamental mechanical integrity of the Toyota, they suggest a level of cosmetic neglect. Given the low mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components would be a prudent step during a physical inspection.
