2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · NJ17 PLX

The 2017 Toyota Yaris presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 42,870 miles passing with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, including the February 2025, February 2024, and February 2023 entries, also passed with no defects noted. The single failed entry on 6 February 2025 at 38,637 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or related to a documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, as the car passed on the same day at the same mileage. This is a strong record indicating consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Covering roughly 4,763 miles per year over nine years, the car has seen light use. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, moving from 32,960 miles in February 2023 to 35,879 miles in February 2024, then to 38,637 miles in February 2025, and finally to 42,870 miles in January 2026. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings, and the annual increments of around 2,700 to 4,200 miles suggest regular but gentle use, likely a mix of short local trips and occasional longer journeys. With no defects flagged across the entire MOT history, there are no recurring faults to raise concern. The absence of advisories on suspension components, brake systems, tyre condition, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across five consecutive tests is a positive indicator. Low-mileage vehicles like this one can still suffer from deterioration caused by long periods of inactivity, so a buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, and verify that the exhaust system and underbody are free from corrosion despite the clean paperwork. The engine oil condition and coolant level should also be checked, as infrequent use can lead to moisture accumulation and fluid degradation that MOT tests do not directly assess.
