2017 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SL17 BYS

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 43,193 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced a minor defect regarding an offside rear tyre showing signs of perishing. This is the only defect recorded since 2022, indicating that the vehicle has generally operated without significant mechanical or structural failures during its recent history. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 26,314 miles and April 2026 at 43,193 miles, the car covered 16,879 miles, reflecting a steady but infrequent usage profile. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly, though the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components as seen in the recent 2026 tyre advisory. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the recently flagged perishing suggests that the rubber may be reaching its limit despite the low tread depth. Because the record shows no history of brake issues or suspension bushing failures, the inspector should still check for seized brake calipers or uneven wear which can occur when vehicles sit for long periods. The lack of structural corrosion in the previous four years suggests the chassis integrity remains sound.
