2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · T10 LAP

The 2012 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 May 2025 at 78,590 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, repeated from May 2024 when a fail on 1 May at 72,619 miles preceded a pass on 3 May at the same figure. No defects were recorded against either failure, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. The vehicle cleared the April 2023 test at 67,423 miles with no advisories. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical expectations for a fourteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 67,423 miles in April 2023 to 72,619 miles by May 2024, then to 78,590 miles by May 2025, giving an average of roughly 5,600 miles per year. Such low annual use over the period suggests light commuting or extended standing periods, though the record shows no gaps longer than the standard twelve-month test interval. The clean advisory history across all three pass results indicates consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were within tolerance at each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion points and underbody condition, as the MOT data supplies no detail on these areas and low-mileage cars left standing can develop hidden rust. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs with zero defects warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes, since the pattern implies clerical rejection rather than owner neglect. Verify service history independently, as the MOT record alone confirms statutory test compliance but not routine oil changes or cambelt intervals on this Toyota.
