2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · SW17 RFZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 25 August 2025 at 41,237 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day that listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisories across the last four testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,582 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 27,266 miles and August 2025 at 41,237 miles, the car covered only 13,971 miles over three years. This consistent low-usage pattern indicates light use, which typically preserves the drivetrain and internal engine components. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-use scenarios. A buyer should check for flat-spotting on tyres, perished rubber hoses, and seized brake calipers or discs due to lack of regular friction. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking, as these parts age regardless of the miles driven. The overall lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has not been subjected to heavy heavy mechanical stress.
