2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LR64 ECF

The 2026‑06‑22 MOT at 30,497 miles recorded a pass, confirming the 2014 Toyota Yaris remains roadworthy despite minor tyre and headlamp defects. The maintenance record shows a stable pattern with no major recurring failures, only occasional tyre wear and a single repeater fault that was corrected before the next test. Mileage has climbed from 9,562 miles in August 2017 to 30,497 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 2,500 miles per year, which is low for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle but indicates a sharper usage increase between 2023 and 2026, when the odometer rose by about 5,500 miles over three years. The gap between the 2022 test at 15,756 miles and the 2023 failure at 25,006 miles reflects a rapid accumulation of 9,250 miles in a single year, followed by a quick fix that allowed the vehicle to pass the subsequent test. Recurring tyre perishing on both front and rear positions, first flagged in 2022 and again in 2026, points to infrequent tyre replacement, while the 2023 repeater failures reveal a previously unresolved lighting defect that was remedied before the later pass. The history also records suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers as items that have not been explicitly mentioned but merit inspection given the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension components, brake wear, tyre tread and sidewalls, the integrity of the headlamp lenses, and look for any structural rust or exhaust corrosion, as these areas have repeatedly appeared on the official record.
