2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP64 GPE

The 2014 Toyota Yaris shows a consistent roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the most recent tests. The November 2025 test, conducted at 57,297 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the duplicate entry for November 2024—one pass, one fail—suggests either a test centre error or a brief lapse in documentation. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories in the latest tests implies the vehicle has not been subject to deferred repairs or ongoing wear patterns that would require immediate attention. However, the lack of defects does not preclude normal wear items from requiring replacement, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 57,297 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 4,775 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are standard, with each MOT occurring within a few days of the previous year’s date, suggesting consistent annual servicing. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests spans 14 months, during which the vehicle accumulated only 4,637 miles, reinforcing the pattern of minimal usage. While this reduces wear on high-stress components, it may also mean some fluids (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) have not been refreshed according to manufacturer recommendations, potentially leading to degradation over time. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of consumable items that are not routinely checked during MOTs. Focus on the brake system—particularly rear calipers and discs—for binding or uneven wear, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop corrosion or dust contamination. The suspension should be examined for worn or leaking bushes, especially on the front struts, given the age of the vehicle. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear, should be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirement. Finally, check for signs of structural corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the rear subframe, as these areas are prone to rust progression even with limited mileage. The engine bay should be inspected for leaks or degraded hoses, as prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate rubber degradation.
