2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LT17 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on 17 April 2026 at 18,328 miles was a pass, the inspector was restricted by a child seat preventing a full check of the adult seatbelt. Looking at the broader trend, the vehicle has moved from a state of failure in 2024 to a consistent pass, suggesting that mechanical faults were addressed immediately upon discovery. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,036 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the jump from 9,921 miles in April 2024 to 13,250 miles in April 2025, followed by another 5,078 miles leading to the 2026 test. While this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the car likely sits for long periods, which is directly evidenced by the recurring degradation of rubber-based components despite low tread depth loss. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the record consistently flags perishing, cracking, and insufficient tread depth across multiple tests in 2024 and 2025. These issues indicate the rubber is failing due to age rather than distance driven. The buyer should also verify the nearside front headlamp assembly to ensure the fix from the April 2024 failure was secured properly and check the rear seatbelts for any obstruction or mechanical damage. Given the low mileage, a close look for brake disc corrosion and age-related suspension bushes is advisable, as these components often suffer when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods.
