2012 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · DG12 YMZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness characterized by a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 03 March 2026 at 48,232 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency extends across the previous four annual tests since 2022, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without recurring failures or progressive degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,445 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 43,095 miles and March 2026 at 48,232 miles, the car covered only 5,137 miles. This low annual usage suggests short-distance travel, which typically minimizes wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, the infrequent use can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components that are not affected by mileage alone. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should perform a physical inspection to check for issues common in low-mileage vehicles. Examine the tyres for sidewall cracking and the suspension bushes for perished rubber material, as these components age over time regardless of distance driven. Verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Checking the chassis for early signs of surface rust remains vital to ensure the structural integrity is as sound as the history suggests.
