2014 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · EX63 VMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT pass recorded on 2025-06-26 at 70,544 miles—just under a year ago as of today. No defects were flagged, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recurring issues in braking, suspension, steering, or emissions. The absence of advisories or failures across multiple tests, including this latest one, suggests consistent care and no hidden mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 70,544 over 12 years equates to an average of 5,879 miles annually, which is below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. This low annual mileage implies the car has seen light or intermittent use, possibly with extended periods of inactivity. There are no gaps in the MOT record, and no sudden spikes in mileage between tests, reinforcing the impression of steady, non-intensive ownership. The lack of mileage accumulation since the last test also means that wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and fluids has been minimal since the most recent certification. Despite the clean record, a buyer should still inspect for age-related degradation that low mileage doesn’t prevent. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for corrosion, especially if the car spent time stationary. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links for dry rot or cracking, as rubber components deteriorate over time regardless of use. Inspect the exhaust system for internal rust or leaks, particularly around the silencer and mounting points, which are common failure areas in older Toyotas. Also verify the battery health and fluid levels, as prolonged inactivity can lead to electrolyte stratification or seal shrinkage even without high mileage.
