2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · OB02 AMY

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on the available inspection history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 July 2025 at 62,725 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean result across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has maintained a consistently good mechanical condition and has not suffered from the recurring structural or component failures typically seen in Micras of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,920 miles per year. Data shows a period of minimal use between March 2021 and March 2022, where the car covered only 563 miles. However, there was a notable increase in usage between August 2024 and July 2025, with the vehicle covering nearly 15,000 miles in an eleven-month window. While the low overall mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine, the irregular intervals of use suggest potential degradation of rubber components or fluid breakdown during long periods of inactivity. Because the record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than high-mileage wear. The buyer must check for perished tyre sidewalls and cracked suspension bushes, which often degrade regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion and checking the structural integrity of the sills and rear underside is also essential. The lack of any previous advisories in the MOT history suggests a well-maintained example that has avoided the typical mechanical decline associated with older Japanese hatchbacks.
