2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GU14 WPP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 66,117 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and pitted, scored brake discs. This represents a departure from the perfect results seen in 2025, indicating that the braking system is now reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention. The Yaris averages a low annual usage of approximately 5,500 miles per year over its twelve-year life. The mileage progression is consistent, with the vehicle covering steady intervals of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between tests from 2022 through 2026. This low-mile profile suggests the car has been used for short trips, which often preserves the drivetrain and engine components but can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on metalwork and dry rubber components if the vehicle sits for long periods between uses. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the front braking assembly, as the pitting on the discs suggests the surface has degraded, likely necessitating full replacement. The 2024 advisory at 55,300 miles regarding rear tyres worn on the edge indicates a previous alignment issue or uneven wear, so the current state of all tyres should be checked for irregular patterns. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, inspecting suspension bushes and rubber seals for cracking is essential, as these degradation occurs despite the low odometer reading.
