2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA64 CKE

The 2014 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 28,223 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The single failure on 22 August 2023 at 25,052 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects listed, and the same-day pass at identical mileage indicates an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the record. Mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old car. The odometer rose from 22,389 miles in August 2022 to 28,223 miles by August 2025, an average of roughly 1,945 miles per year. The largest single-year movement was 2,169 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. Such low annual use over the full life suggests extended standing periods, which can allow tyres to perish, brake calipers to seize, and underbody corrosion to develop even when test results stay clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts despite the clear MOT sheet. Standing vehicles commonly hide structural rust and degraded rubber components that a pass test without advisories will not capture. Check the front coil springs and rear trailing-arm bushes for age-related cracking, and confirm the brake calipers are not binding after the car has sat unused. Given the absent defect history and minimal mileage, previous ownership appears to have covered basic statutory testing without neglect. The 2023 same-day fail-and-pass implies a paperwork error at the centre rather than skipped maintenance. Expect consumable wear from time rather than distance, and budget for tyres, wiper blades, and fluid changes on age alone.
