2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EX12 NYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 19 September 2025 at 49,478 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances during operation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 17,820 miles, reflecting a history of short-distance urban use. The only anomaly in the record occurred on 7 September 2023 at 37,159 miles, where the vehicle failed a test only to pass the following day at 37,162 miles. This suggests a minor, easily rectable failure that was addressed immediately, rather than a systemic issue or mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use rather than high wear and tear. While the record shows no structural rust, low annual mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre boots. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the age of the Toyota, verifying the condition of the chassis for hidden corrosion is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
