Our Verdict
This 2017 Toyota Yaris 1.33 petrol has a
Given the cluster of defects at the most recent test, a thorough pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage is essential. The failed MOT on 9 March 2026 included an item classified as a dangerous defect (electrical wiring likely to touch hot or rotating parts near the exhaust tip), which would have prevented the vehicle from being driven away. Confirm with the seller that all listed defects have been rectified with receipts, and re-check each item yourself before committing. The same-day re-test pass with three advisories suggests remedial work was rushed, so verify the headlamp function, all four tyres, and the wiring routing personally.
Regarding tyres specifically, the failure noted worn edges on nearside front and offside rear, plus a deep cut on the offside front and perished/damaged rears. A full set of four replacement tyres could cost £200-£300. Suspension components (anti-roll bar linkage ball joint play, deteriorated dust cover) are also flagged and should be inspected on a ramp. The reversing lamp and side repeater failures from 2024 are minor electrical items but suggest the lighting system warrants a full check.
Service history is not visible in the MOT data provided, so request the full service book and verify stamps match the annual mileage progression (59,423 in March 2024, 73,381 in March 2025, 86,899 in March 2026 — roughly 14,000 and 13,500 miles in the last two years, indicating fairly consistent use).
The 1.33-litre petrol Yaris is known for frugal running costs, typically returning 45-55 mpg in real-world driving. Road tax for a Euro 6 petrol of this age and engine capacity sits in a low band, roughly £165 per year. Insurance falls in group 7-9 depending on trim, making it one of the cheaper superminis to insure. Fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance (an annual service plus minor wear items) should合计 to around £800-£1,000 annually for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
The 2026 MOT failure suggests additional spend is imminent: a full tyre set (£200-£300), anti-roll bar linkage bushes/ball joints (£100-£200 labour included), headlamp bulb or unit replacement, and exhaust clearance check for the wiring issue. Factor at least £400-£600 of immediate remedial work into any purchase negotiation. Regular maintenance items such as brake fluid changes and a cambelt check (Toyota typically recommends replacement at 5-year or 100,000-mile intervals) should also be budgeted for, though the 1.33 engine uses a chain rather than a belt in some variants — confirm which this car has.
Start by checking the nearside front headlamp for full dipped and main beam function, as the 2026 failure listed both as not working. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth (legal minimum 1.6mm across the central three-quarters), edge wear, sidewall cracking, and any cuts exposing ply or cords. The offside rear shock absorber was noted as having light oil misting in both 2025 and 2026 tests, which suggests deterioration — bounce-test the rear corners and look for damping weakness.
Under the bonnet, trace the electrical wiring near the exhaust tip to confirm it has been rerouted safely away from hot or rotating components, as this was flagged as a dangerous defect. Check the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint for play (also flagged in 2026) and inspect the upper linkage dust cover condition. Examine all exterior lights including reversing lamp, side repeaters, daytime running lamp, and registration plate illumination for correct operation.
Finally, inspect the windscreen for stone chips (one was noted in 2025 but not adversely affecting the driver's view) and verify the general body condition. Given the higher-than-average annual mileage of around 9,000 miles, pay particular attention to clutch feel, gearbox synchros, and brake component wear, as these tend to be the first major-ticket items to require attention on a Yaris at this mileage.
First registered in February 2017, this grey Toyota Yaris has covered 86,899 miles across nine years, equating to roughly 9,000 miles per year — well above the model average of 5,637. The MOT record shows three tests in 2024-2026 with two failures and one pass-with-advisories. The 2026 failure was particularly concerning, involving 12 separate defects including a non-functional headlamp, dangerous tyre wear, and electrical wiring contacting the exhaust.
The Toyota Yaris has an 80.0% MOT pass rate across 470,311 analysed vehicles, placing it among the more reliable superminis on UK roads, though the most common failures relate to corrosion, anti-roll bar components, and tyres — issues that have appeared in this particular vehicle's history.
