Fourteen years on

Today completed annual oil change & service on family 1.3 auto Yaris. Whilst it's low mileage (under 40,000) the only non-service repairs have been front antiroll bar droplink bushes and batteries.
Having had a good look underneath as well as the under bonnet, I am so impressed at the condition of this car at fourteen! No rust underneath, no breakdowns and most things still work.
Just a couple of minor defects - the central locking unlocks but will not lock remotely also the 'lights on' warning light on the dash, doesn't!
I've searched this and other forums about the central locking and it seems the unit inside the door panel may well be at fault. Not had opportunity to check this out.
One minor annoyance, the above drop link bushes replaced last year are already showing signs of cracking. The originals lasted since 2001 and the pattern parts are likely to need replacing in a year or so - maybe genuine parts are the way to go.
All in all, we love this car. Have had 4 Yarises in the family, the others have all moved on and this is the last.
