Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to very high mi
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension. The August 2026 MOT specifically noted worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, as well as oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. You should negotiate the price based on the likely cost of replacing these components soon.
Verify that the major exhaust leak and fractured coil spring identified in July 2025 were professionally repaired. Given the high mileage of 145,848 miles, request a comprehensive service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, and the Yaris typically sits in a low insurance group, making it affordable to insure. Road tax will be based on the vehicle's original CO2 emissions from 2014.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age of car due to the high mileage. The recurring suspension advisories suggest that wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their life, which will increase the annual upkeep budget.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and underbody. The MOT history specifically flags worn suspension arm pins/bushes and a misting shock absorber in 2026, and underbody corrosion was noted in 2025; check for significant rust on the chassis and suspension mounts.
Check the lighting system carefully, as the vehicle failed its most recent MOT on both dipped beam headlamps. Additionally, ensure the exhaust system is secure and free from leaks, referencing the major failure recorded in July 2025.
This 2014 white Toyota Yaris has covered 145,848 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for this model. The MOT history reveals a pattern of suspension and exhaust issues between 2025 and 2026, including a fractured coil spring and a major exhaust leak. While it passed its most recent test in August 2026, several advisories remain regarding the suspension and shock absorbers.
The Toyota Yaris has a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with common failures typically limited to headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
