2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · ML17 MBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding the braking system. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 105,159 miles, the car passed despite advisories for pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside thin front brake pads. This follows a pattern established in August 2024 at 100,620 miles, where the front discs and pads were already flagged for being worn and thin. The' accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2022 (78,228 miles) and March 2023 (94,400 miles), where over 16,000 miles were covered in a single year. The usage rate accelerated further between May 2024 and August 2024, with nearly 5,000 miles recorded in just three months. This high intensity likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on consumable components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking assembly, as the recurring advisories for pitted and scored discs suggest long-term corrosion or a lack of timely replacement. While the vehicle passed the test, the repeated mention of thin pads and surface degradation indicates that the braking system is nearing required intervention to ensure safe stopping distances. Inspection should also extend to the suspension bushes and seized caliper sliders, as the high mileage puts significant stress on these rubber and metal components.
