2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CY61 FHT

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 January 2026 at 102,645 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 to January 2025 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 14-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,332 miles per year. The record shows 83,051 miles on 10 January 2023, rising to 87,867 by 23 January 2024, 93,350 by 30 January 2025, and 102,645 by 24 January 2026. This reflects steady, moderate annual use with no sudden accumulation or long dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, with only a failed entry on 10 January 2023 at 83,051 miles that carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or unlogged cause rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, but such items escape detection in a pass-only record. Examine brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check structural integrity underneath for rust given the vehicle's age. Verify the January 2023 failure against DVLA paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise, the history implies a previous owner who kept basic upkeep current, though the lack of noted consumable replacements means tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions components warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
