2017 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · YP67 YBF

The vehicle passed its November 2025 MOT at 97,562 miles, though it failed an immediate retest at 97,652 miles due to a windscreen wiper that does not clear the windscreen effectively. The maintenance trend has shifted from clean records to recurring tyre wear advisories, indicating that basic upkeep has been neglected in favour of meeting minimum legal standards. While the car is currently roadworthy, the failure to address the wiper defect suggests the previous owner prioritised passing the test over resolving underlying faults. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent pattern of roughly 10,000 to 17,000 miles per year between 2020 and 2023. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or periods of the vehicle standing idle. The final stretch between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests shows a significantly lower mileage increase of around 3,339 miles, suggesting the car has been driven less frequently in the last twelve months, which is typical for a commuter vehicle approaching the end of its useful life. A buyer should inspect the nearside front wheel and suspension components, as the record shows tyres worn close to the legal limit for several consecutive tests. The November 2023 test flagged a slightly worn upper shock absorber bush and thin brake pads, which are consumable items that degrade with mileage. The windscreen wiper failure recorded in late 2025 is a minor cosmetic issue but should be replaced before the next winter to ensure visibility. Structural integrity appears sound given the absence of corrosion or frame-related advisories throughout the history.
