2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DG14 AEC

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-21 inspection at 52,689 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory safety checks. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,391 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 12-year age. However, the 2022-03-03 test at 45,916 miles and the 2022-07-04 test at 46,191 miles reveal a minimal 275-mile jump over four months, which may indicate periods of inactivity or infrequent use. Subsequent tests show regular usage, with 50,670 miles recorded by 2023-06-28. This pattern suggests the car has not been heavily driven, though low mileage can sometimes mask wear in components like suspension bushes or brake systems. While the MOT history lacks structural or mechanical faults, a physical inspection is advised to confirm the condition of non-MOT-covered elements. Focus on the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade without regular stress, and check brake discs for uneven wear due to low-mileage usage. Additionally, verify the exhaust system for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust in hidden areas. The vehicle’s clean MOT record supports its reliability but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase check.
