2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SL17 BYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend has shifted from clean passes to showing signs of mechanical wear. While the car passed four consecutive tests between 2021 and 2024 without defects, the September 2025 test at 76,277 miles identified multiple suspension-related advisories. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components and dampers require attention after years of relatively stable operation. The recorded mileage of 76,277 miles over nine years is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, with a 10,000-mile gap between April 2024 and September 2025. There is no evidence of long-term neglect or sudden high mileage accumulation, though the recent increase in annual mileage likely contributed to the onset of wear on the tyres and suspension components noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside and offside front suspension assemblies. The 2025 record flagged light misting on the nearside front shock absorber and worn suspension arm bushes on both front sides. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate the degradation of seals and rubber bushings. The buyer should also replace the front tyres, as both were noted as being near the legal limit with uneven edge wear, suggesting potential alignment issues or simply needing immediate replacement to ensure safety.
