2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · VA14 KDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in July 2025 at 70,092 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern regarding reactive repairs, as the defects identified in previous years were addressed promptly. While the July 2025 test initially failed due to multiple tyre issues, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the current owner is willing to rectify safety-critical items once flagged. At roughly 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,092 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,841 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with an increase of 7,888 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 7,733 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber component degradation or seizing from periods of stationary operation. A buyer should pay close attention to the wheel geometry and suspension components, as the July 2025 failure highlighted heavy wear on the inner and outer edges of the offside front tyre. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. The recurring fault regarding the damaged central rear seat belt between 2023 and 2024 suggests a minor oversight in interior maintenance, though it does not point to deeper mechanical failure. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of brake caliper corrosion and fluid integrity is advised to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from lack of use.
