2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FH12 OYU

The vehicle presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 6 January 2026 at 84,212 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the most recent test indicates the Yaris currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The trend remains consistently stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues surfacing across the recorded history. The annual mileage accumulation sits at approximately 6,015 miles per year, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age. Analysing the intervals between tests reveals a steady and consistent usage pattern. Between the December 2022 pass at 52,877 miles and the December 2023 pass at 63,136 miles, the car covered 10,259 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction, accumulating 13,700 miles to reach 76,836 miles by December 2024. The most recent interval shows a significant drop in usage, with only 7,376 miles added between December 2024 and the January 2026 test. This recent dip suggests lighter use or a period of standing over the last twelve months. Despite the clean record, a notable anomaly exists in the data. The vehicle failed the MOT on 20 December 2022 at 52,877 miles, yet the record explicitly states no defects were recorded for that failure. This was immediately rectified, as a clean pass was issued the following day at the exact same mileage, suggesting a minor rectification or a testing station data entry quirk. Given the vehicle's age and the recent drop in annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate through lack of use rather than wear. Check the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting or perishing, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion that can develop during prolonged standing. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any early deterioration, and verify the exhaust system for corrosion, as short-trip driving can accelerate moisture buildup within the exhaust.
