2017 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YL17 PYG

The 2024‑11‑11 MOT at 40,484 miles confirms the 2017 Toyota Auris remains roadworthy, with no major defects recorded and a pass outcome. The vehicle has passed every test since 2020, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving pattern. At roughly 4,500 miles per year the odometer reflects lighter usage for a nine‑year‑old model, and the mileage increments between tests show a consistent, incremental increase: from 20,307 miles in December 2020 to 26,260 miles in December 2021 (5,953 miles), then to 32,369 miles in November 2022 (6,109 miles), followed by 36,829 miles in November 2023 (4,460 miles) and finally 40,484 miles in November 2024 (3,655 miles). No extended periods of zero mileage are evident, suggesting the car has been driven regularly. Recurring issues centre on the braking system and tyre condition: the front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored in both the 2023 and 2024 tests, while the 2023 test also flagged slight tyre perishing on both fronts. The 2021 failure concerning the offside wiper and high headlamp aim was corrected before the subsequent 2022 and 2023 passes, indicating responsive remedial work. Suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers have not been explicitly recorded as defective, but the repeated disc wear suggests possible binding or uneven pad wear that should be examined. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and check wheel alignment and suspension components for wear or corrosion. Particular attention to the structural integrity of the wheel arches and chassis is advisable, as the record contains no explicit rust findings but does not cover a full structural inspection. Confirming the functionality of the stop lamp and ensuring the wiper system clears the windscreen effectively will complete a thorough pre‑purchase assessment.
