2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LK64 WCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred- regarding rubber and components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 37,378 miles flagged a high volume of advisories related to perished tyres and damaged bodywork/lighting hardware. While the car passed, the accumulation of pitted brake discs and cracking tyre sidewalls suggests the vehicle is maintained only to the minimum standard required for legal compliance rather than a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. This low usage explains the recurring age-related degradation seen in the records. Between July 2022 at 30,918 miles and July 2025 at 37,378 miles, the car covered only 6,460 miles over three years. The persistent mention of perished tyres across multiple tests indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, leading to dry rot and oxidation of metal surfaces despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the cooling system, as a non-excessive coolant leak was noted in July 2024 and remains a point of interest. The braking system requires immediate attention; the record shows pitted and scored discs in both 2022 and 2025, and the worn handbrake cable outer casings identified in 2024 should be checked for tension issues to ensure effective parking. Furthermore, the anti-roll bar linkage play noted in 2022 suggests that suspension rubber components are reaching the end of their life due to age rather than mileage.
