Reliability, common problems and owner reviews for the Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV). Check this before you buy used.
The 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV) is a frugal little diesel that can cover huge distances, but it's a modern common-rail unit with the usual cautions: EGR sooting, injector wear, and DPF clogging on short trips (DPF cars). The earliest versions had some piston/oil issues later improved. Strong for high-mileage motorway use with strict oil changes; an unknown-history city car is less appealing than the bulletproof petrols.
