2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MX14 OSY

The vehicle presents a mixed roadworthiness profile following a recent failure and subsequent pass within the same month. The July 2026 test at 54,354 miles shows the car successfully passed, but this follows a failure on 2 July 2026 for a missing rear fog lamp and significant tyre degradation. While the immediate mechanical status appears stable due to the recent pass, the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition suggest a pattern of deferred consumable maintenance. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 2014 vehicle, covering only 54,354 miles over approximately twelve years. The data shows a minimal increase of just 14 miles between the July 2025 test and the July 2026 test, suggesting the vehicle has spent much of the last year stationary or driven very infrequently. Such low annual mileage, averaging roughly 4,500 miles, often implies lighter mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also lead to secondary issues like rubber perishing and seized components due to lack of regular use. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres. The MOT records from 2 July and 7 July 2026 consistently flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing, which is a direct consequence of age and UV exposure rather than tread wear. Given the vehicle's tendency to sit idle, you should also inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, as well as check the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and drive belts. Ensure the recently noted missing fog lamp has been replaced with a functional unit to meet current regulatory standards.
