2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DF14 AEU

The Yaris is currently roadworthy, with the most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 126,810 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as every annual examination ultimately yielded a certificate and the record shows no advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared its 2025 test after a same-day fail at 126,808 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old hatchback. The odometer read 110,701 miles on the 9 August 2023 failure and 110,705 miles at the pass two days later. By 26 July 2024 the car had covered 118,917 miles, rising to 126,810 miles by August 2025. This equates to roughly eight thousand miles per year over the recorded period, slightly under the long-term average of ten and a half thousand. The sparse history of five entries since 2023 shows clean results, with no gap exceeding thirteen months. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related wear points despite the absent advisories. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or exhaust emissions concerns, yet a Toyota of this mileage may harbour fatigued rubber mounts or surface rust on structural members unseen during the automated test. The twin instances of fail with no defects recorded merit a check of the full DVSA test certificate to confirm the rejection basis was not a missed fault. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper operation and underbody integrity before purchase.
