Toyota Yaris Icon + D 4d (2014)
2014 Toyota Yaris Icon + D 4d
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2014 Toyota Yaris Icon + D 4d. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Yaris D-4D diesel struggles to match the UK average, with only 69.6% passing first time against the national benchmark of 80%—a genuine reliability concern for a near-decade-old car. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent (0%), so safety isn't a worry, though the 0.53 average failures per vehicle suggests wear is catching up.
At 78,000 miles median, these cars have been driven normally for their age, yet the notably low pass rate isn't mileage-related but rather reflects accumulating mechanical issues typical of older diesels. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine and emissions systems, and budget for repairs—this model simply isn't holding up as well as its peers.
What to check before buying a 2014 Toyota Yaris Icon + D 4d
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
