2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · LP14 AAU

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 22 May 2026 at 32,165 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a decade-long trend of perfect scores. This stability suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has operated without any significant mechanical or structural failures throughout its twelve years of service. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 2,680 miles per year. Data shows a notable period of minimal use between 2017 and 2020, where the car covered only 1,444 miles in three years. Since the 2020 test, usage has increased more steadily, averaging roughly between 2,000 and 2,200 miles annually. While this low-mileage profile reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also indicates the possibility that rubber components and seals may have degraded during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Long periods of standing can often cause brake calipers to seize or brake discs to develop surface pitting, despite the lack of friction wear. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these materials age based on time rather than distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the chassis for any surface corrosion on structural mounting points is prudent, though the record has not flagged any structural integrity issues to date.
