2014 Toyota Yaris Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist
What to Inspect
- Run the VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup and confirm every open campaign has been repaired
- Ask for proof of the 60,000-mile valve clearance inspection and check for a ticking or rough-running engine
- Check the tires for age, cracking and uneven wear
- Test the brakes and clutch or automatic for smooth, quiet operation on the test drive
- Ask for the full service history and match it to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
