2012 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YT62 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 June 2025 at 82,353 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in July 2024, the vehicle was immediately retested and passed on the same day at the same mileage, suggesting that any identified faults were addressed promptly rather than representing chronic mechanical failures. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 82,353 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging to approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with 6,400 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 4,853 miles in the year leading to the 2025 test. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and internal engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion due to longer periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related wear rather than high-mileage fatigue. Because the car has been used sparingly, check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for perish or cracking, which occurs over time regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven wear, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rust. While the MOT record shows no structural advisories in the last three years, a visual check of the underbody remains necessary to ensure that surface corrosion has not compromised the integrity of the vehicle's chassis.
