2014 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric · PF63 WPW

As a hybrid electric vehicle, this Yaris offers strong fuel economy, particularly in urban environments. It typically falls into a low CO2 emission bracket, resulting in reduced annual road tax compared to non-hybrid equivalents of the same era. Insurance groups for the Yaris are generally low, making it an affordable option for new or experienced drivers.

Maintenance costs are typically moderate, though you should budget for the eventual replacement of the hybrid battery if it hasn't been done. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be relatively low for a vehicle of this age.

Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted in the MOT history. Check the offside front headlamp and windscreen wipers, as these were the causes of the December 2025 failure. Carefully examine the front tyres for any signs of uneven wear or sidewall damage, referencing the 2023 failure where a tyre was worn close to the legal limit and another suffered a structural tear.

Additionally, check the anti-roll bars and suspension components. While this specific vehicle has not failed on these items, they are listed as a top failure reason across the 470,762 Yaris vehicles analysed in our aggregate data. A test drive should confirm there are no knocks or rattles from the suspension when cornering.
