2014 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · CU64 MOF

The 2014 Toyota Yaris presents a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 11 July 2025 at 101,478 miles. The tester recorded zero defects during this most recent assessment, mirroring the unblemished results of the preceding four annual tests. This consistent absence of advisories or failures indicates a vehicle that has received diligent preventative care, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues demanding attention. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's lifespan. Between July 2021 and August 2023, the Yaris covered roughly 10,500 to 11,500 miles annually, reflecting typical daily driving. However, the interval between the August 2023 test at 93,666 miles and the July 2024 test at 98,215 miles shows a drop to just 4,549 miles over nearly a year. This trend continues into the most recent period, where only 3,263 miles were recorded between July 2024 and July 2025. Such low recent mileage suggests the car has spent extended periods stationary, which demands a closer look at components prone to seizing or perishing from inactivity. Despite the spotless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the physical condition of components that degrade through standing rather than use. Tyres require close scrutiny for sidewall cracking and date codes, as older rubber perishes regardless of remaining tread depth. Brake discs and calipers need checking for surface rust and binding, a common issue when a vehicle sits unused. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should be examined for perishing or deterioration. The low recent mileage also warrants verifying the condition of the battery and checking for any signs of moisture ingress or rodent damage within the engine bay and undercarriage, as these issues rarely trigger an MOT failure but cause significant nuisance faults.
