2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · C99 VLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and braking system corrosion. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 75,363 miles was a pass, it introduced new advisories for corrosion on the offside and nearside rear inner sills and brake pipes. This represents a progression from the 2023Test where only the chassis corrosion was noted, suggesting that surface rust is actively developing despite not yet reaching a structural failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between annual tests, moving from 49,334 miles in late 2021 to 75,363 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance wear, but it often correlates with the development of rust seen in the record, as the vehicle may not frequently generate enough heat to dry the undercarriage or braking components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear chassis and inner sills to determine the depth of the corrosion. The 2024 test specifically flagged low rear enough pads and corroded discs, and the subsequent 2025 test noted corroded enough pipes. It is essential to verify if these components were replaced between tests, or if the braking system is currently deteriorating. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the front nearside indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension component that should be checked to prevent further tyre degradation.
