2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FY64 LXM

The current MOT status is valid until October 2026, following a pass on 28 October 2025. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection, the failure immediately preceding it for a loose road wheel indicates a concerning lapse in basic maintenance standards. The recurring advisories for tyre wear and suspension degradation suggest a pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing, where components are run to their absolute limit before replacement. This Toyota Yaris has covered 152,732 miles over twelve years, averaging approximately 12,700 miles annually. The mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent year-on-year, showing no significant gaps or periods of inactivity. Such high-mileage usage typically places heavy strain on the drivetrain and chassis, and the current figure sits well above the national average for a vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically the wishbone bushes and anti-roll bar components, which have been flagged repeatedly since 2022. The persistent oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, noted consistently across three consecutive tests, warrants a check for weeping seals or damping efficiency loss. Given the history of tyre wear on the inner edges, a professional four-wheel alignment check is essential to rule out underlying geometry issues caused by worn suspension bushings or past kerb impacts.
