2012 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · LF62 BWV

This 2012 Toyota Yaris presents a very strong recent record of roadworthiness, having passed its most recent MOT test on 15th June 2026 with no defects recorded whatsoever. This indicates a solid current mechanical standing for the vehicle at the time of its inspection. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 26,435 miles over its approximate 14-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging just under 1,900 miles per year. While this suggests lighter overall use, it can mean components are more susceptible to age-related degradation rather than wear from high mileage. Items such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and tyres can perish or seize even with minimal use, and long periods of inactivity can affect fluid integrity and battery health, although the recent MOT did not flag any specific defects related to these potential low-usage concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection remains advisable, particularly given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres for signs of perishing or age-related cracking, irrespective of tread depth, and check the brake discs and pads for any signs of rust pitting or uneven wear that can develop from infrequent use. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension over bumps, check for smooth and even braking without judder or pulling, and ensure all electrical components function correctly, as these are areas where age and sporadic use can manifest issues not always immediately apparent during a standard MOT test.
