2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SM14 AEV

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 54,248 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from December 2024, December 2023, and November 2022 also show clean sheets. The single failure on 14 December 2023 at 48,828 miles carried no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 54,248 against a 2014 build, an average of roughly 4,500 miles per year. The gap between the November 2022 test at 42,076 miles and the December 2023 test at 48,828 miles shows about 6,750 miles covered in that year, slightly above the long-term average but unremarkable. From December 2023 to December 2024 the car added only 4,831 miles, then just 589 miles to the November 2025 test. This low, declining annual use over the last two years suggests the vehicle spent extended periods stationary. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the five-year record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and brake condition, as standing vehicles develop seizing calipers and surface rust that a pass with no defects does not capture. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the 2023 duplicate test entry warrants a check of the V5C to confirm no suppressed failure data exists.
