Our Verdict
A highly recommended option for those se
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying why the mileage is so low for a 14-year-old car. Request documentation to confirm the mileage consistency and ensure no odometer tampering has occurred. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still ask for evidence of routine servicing to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the infrequent use.
Negotiate based on the service history rather than the MOT record alone. Since the MOTs have been clean, the car's mechanical health depends heavily on whether oil changes and fluid checks were performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Check the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from perished rubber even if the tread depth is high.
The 1329cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, typical for a Yaris of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for items like tyres and brakes which may be required due to age rather than wear. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sits in a manageable bracket for a small hatchback.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. While this specific car has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for the Toyota Yaris shows that corrosion is a top failure reason across the model range. Check the sills, wheel arches, and suspension components for any signs of surface rust.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bars, as these are identified as a common failure point in the wider model data. Finally, check the tyre condition; even with the low mileage recorded (11,352 miles), tyres can degrade over time due to age, which may lead to unexpected replacement costs.
This 2012 Toyota Yaris (DG62XEF) presents with exceptionally low mileage, having covered only 11,352 miles since its first registration in September 2012. The MOT history is notably clean, with no defects recorded in the most recent tests from 2022 through to 2025. Given the model's average annual mileage is 5,646, this specific red 1.3L petrol variant has been driven significantly less than the statistical norm.
The Toyota Yaris shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.0% across 470,207 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to corrosion and suspension components.
