2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP64 YDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear as the mileage has increased. The most recent test in June 2026 at 112,517 miles identified worn bushes on both nearside and offside front suspension arms. While the car passed despite these defects, they indicate that the suspension components are beginning to reach their operational limit, marking a departure from the clean records seen in earlier years. The mileage pattern reflects a consistent usage of approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant spike in usage between July 2024 at 46,022 miles and June 2025 at 78,720 miles, covering over 32,000 miles in a single year. This period of rapid accumulation coincides with the first recorded mechanical failures, specifically the June 2025 failure due to a front tyre tread depth below the legal limit and a faulty washer system. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension geometry and assess the extent of the play in the arm bushes flagged in the 2026 test. The underbody corrosion noted in July 2024 requires a close physical inspection to ensure that surface rust has not progressed into structural degradation of the chassis members. Given the previous history of uneven tyre wear in 2025, the wheel alignment should be verified to ensure that the worn suspension components are not causing premature damage to new tyres.
