2014 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YP64 FYV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to reactive maintenance. The test conducted in September 2025 at 58,824 miles recorded the first set of advisories in five years of clean testing. The appearance of thin front brake pads and perishing tyre rubber suggests that the vehicle is now beginning to require consumable attention after a long period of apparent neglect. The mileage profile is consistently low for a 12-year-old Yaris, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle covered 23,021 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,700 miles annually. This low mileage typically preserves the mechanical integrity of the engine and drivetrain, but it often accelerates the aging of rubber-based components, which aligns with the degradation noted in the rear tyres during the latest test. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting the braking system specifically, as the 2025 test flagged thin front pads and a nail was found in the offside rear tyre. The cracking and perishing on both rear tyres indicate that the rubber has reached the end of its functional life due to age rather than tread wear. You should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to seized components and perished seals that a standard MOT does not always catch.
