2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA67 NPD

This Toyota Yaris has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across all five recorded tests, with no defects or advisories noted in any of the most recent inspections. The most recent pass, dated April 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now over a year past its due date. The absence of recurring issues suggests no obvious mechanical trends—whether worsening or improving—though the lack of advisories also means no prior warnings about potential failures. Still, the vehicle’s age (nearing nine years) and low mileage demand a thorough inspection of high-wear components that may not have been formally tested. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of around 3,700 miles, with significant gaps between tests. The vehicle accumulated just 15,511 miles between December 2021 and November 2022—a period of nearly 12 months—and another 8,776 miles over the following 12 months, indicating prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage could imply storage or infrequent use, which may have mitigated some wear but also risks corrosion from moisture accumulation or degraded fluids left stagnant. The most recent test at 33,254 miles in April 2025 was followed by no further activity, meaning the car has not been tested since—nearly 15 months overdue as of July 2026. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise inspecting components not formally assessed in the test, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly around the front struts where wear often begins. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as low mileage can mask gradual wear until failure. Corrosion is another critical concern; the underbody, wheel arches, and sills should be examined for rust penetration, especially if the vehicle was stored in damp conditions. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should also be verified, as prolonged inactivity can degrade their condition. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does suggest no prior failures were severe enough to warrant mention.
