2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · JJ11 BAD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the August 2025 test at 90,664 miles. While the MOT history shows a brief period of instability in August 2023, where the car failed twice at 66,060 and 66,081 miles before passing, the subsequent two years show a consistent trend of passing without any recorded advisories or defects. This indicates that the issues identified during that 2023 testing window were successfully rectified and have not recurred. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,555 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 66,081 miles in August 2023 to 73,046 miles in August 2024, and finally reaching 90,664 miles by August 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway commuting. Because the most recent tests show no advisories, there are no immediate red flags regarding structural integrity or major mechanical failures. However, the failures recorded in August 2023 suggest the vehicle may have required attention to specific components during that period. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the current condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to ensure no new wear has developed. Given the vehicle has surpassed the 90,000-mile mark, a buyer should pay close attention to consumable items. While the MOT record is clean, it does not cover the mechanical health of the engine, clutch, or gearbox. I recommend checking for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive exhaust emissions that might not have been captured in the standard MOT testing parameters.
