2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SM63 OTF

The 2014 Toyota Yaris is presently roadworthy, as the March 12 2026 MOT at 38,900 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The recent test confirms that the vehicle met all statutory requirements and showed no recorded faults. The mileage shows a modest annual average of about 3,242 miles, well below the typical 7,500‑8,000 miles for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests was exactly one year, and each successive test has added roughly 1,000 miles, indicating steady, light use rather than sudden high‑speed wear. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the mechanical components that commonly show wear despite low mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and the structural chassis for rust around wheel arches and the underbody. The absence of recorded defects suggests previous owners maintained the car, yet a close inspection of the exhaust system, suspension mounting points and brake wear indicators remains essential before purchase. The consistent pass history and low mileage indicate careful maintenance, but the buyer must verify that the recorded clean status reflects actual condition, especially regarding suspension integrity, brake performance, and any hidden structural corrosion.
