1.4 D-4D 1ND-TV

A small, economical diesel with a record of heavy oil consumption on early engines, which Toyota addressed with replacement short blocks on some cars. What the owner has been topping up tells you more than the mileage does.

Overview

The 1.4 D-4D is the 1ND-TV diesel version of the Toyota Yaris hatchback (XP90), sold 2005–2011 with 90 PS and manual or automatic. Demands diligence at level 3. Heavy oil consumption on early engines led to replacement short blocks, and a car that's burning oil is carrying that bill. 3 failure modes are recorded against its engine, gearbox, chassis and shared components. Prices on this page are illustrative placeholders rather than a sourced market sample. See the methodology for how the bands are derived.

Known issues, ranked by expected cost

Faults recorded against this engine, its components and its chassis, ranked by likelihood × repair cost. Costs are indicative ranges with a stated labour basis.

MMT clutch actuator and clutch wearToyota MultiMode automated manual (MMT)€250–€1,600

Jerky or slow gear changes, a flashing gear indicator, the car refusing to engage a gear, and a clutch that judders as it takes up drive. The automated manual uses an electric actuator to work a conventional clutch. The actuator wears and needs its clutch position re-learned, and the clutch itself wears faster than on a manual because the system slips it more.

Check: Drive it in town and feel every gear change, then watch the gear display for a flashing indicator. Ask when the clutch was last replaced and whether the actuator has been re-learned.

TransmissioncommonDetectable at viewingevidence: documented60–150k km

Heavy oil consumption (early 1.4 D-4D)1ND-TV 1.4 D-4D€300–€3,000

The oil level falling fast between services, blue smoke on start-up or under load, and a sooty exhaust tip. Piston ring and bore wear on early engines led to heavy consumption, and Toyota replaced short blocks on some affected cars. An engine that's been replaced is a good sign, and one that's still burning oil is carrying the bill.

Check: Check the oil level cold and ask how often the owner tops it up. Look at the exhaust for heavy soot and watch for smoke when the car pulls away, then ask whether the engine has ever been replaced.

EGR cooler leakEGR cooler€400–€1,000

Coolant loss with no visible external leak, white smoke, sweet smell. The EGR cooler cracks internally and leaks coolant into the intake. BMW recalled affected diesels over a fire risk from glycol deposits igniting.

Check: Check coolant level and look for unexplained top-ups in the service history. Verify the recall was carried out. It's free and searchable by VIN.

Mileage and servicing

What the odometer does and doesn't tell you here, plus the service items whose neglect causes the expensive failures above.

Oil consumption rather than distance decides this engine. A car that uses almost nothing between services is healthy at any mileage.

What that meansNo US band exists to compare. Any car you find there's a private import, parts and specialist knowledge are thinner, and the price says more about import cost than about the market.

US figures are the EU band converted at a stated rate. No US market differential is modelled: we hold no sourced US asking prices, and inventing one would be worse than saying so. What the comparison does show for real is availability. Most of this range was never sold in the US.

Buyer notes

Our judgement, kept separate from the records it's built on.

Our read, not a record

The 1.4 D-4D returns excellent economy in a light car and it's torquey enough to make the Yaris feel quicker than the petrol. Early engines developed heavy oil consumption, and Toyota replaced short blocks on some of them, so ask directly whether that work was done. Check the oil level yourself and ask how often the owner tops it up. So take the manual rather than the MMT, because the automated gearbox is the other expensive item here.

Everything above this line comes from the issue and specification records. This paragraph is our judgement on top of them. See how we reach it.
