2014 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

The 2026‑01‑12 MOT at 64,077 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The series of tests from late 2023 through early 2026 shows that the earlier failures at 56,682 and 57,267 miles were followed by successful retests, indicating that the underlying issues have been rectified and the maintenance record is stable. At 12 years old, the 64,077‑mile total equates to roughly 5,340 miles per year, a figure lower than the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting periods of limited use. The interval from the November 2023 test to the January 2025 test covered 16 months but added only 584 miles, while the subsequent 12‑month period from January to January 2026 produced 6,810 miles, revealing a marked increase in usage after a dormant stretch. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for structural rust on the sills, wheel arches and underbody. Tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as previous faults involved binding brakes and potential suspension wear. Although the recent MOT shows no current faults, verification that the previous repairs addressed genuine wear is essential, and a thorough visual and functional check of the identified components will confirm whether the vehicle remains fit for continued use.
