2014 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · GD64 AYE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 3 December 2025 at 29,236 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, as the car has remained in a passing condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during the inspection process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,436 miles annually. Between November 2021 at 21,337 miles and December 2025 at 29,236 miles, the car covered only 7,899 miles. This low-frequency usage suggests short urban trips, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low mileage often implies the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear-and tear. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should target specific areas common to low-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion pitting or flat spotting, as brakes can seize when a car sits for extended periods. Rubber elements, including suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidewalls, require examination for cracking or dry rot regardless of the remaining tread depth. Additionally, verify the chassis for early-stage rust, as moisture retention can occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
