2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FL12 FGD

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 May 2025 at 66,689 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous fail on the same date and mileage where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the April 2024 test at 64,356 miles and the November 2021 test at 59,810 miles both passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition across its available history. Recorded mileage sits at 66,689 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 4,764 miles per year. The gap between the November 2021 test at 59,810 miles and April 2024 at 64,356 miles covers about 4,546 miles over 29 months, confirming light use. From April 2024 to May 2025 the car added only 2,333 miles. Low annual coverage suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop despite minimal wear to drivetrain parts. The clean MOT record gives no flagged items for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper condition, as the sparse test frequency leaves long intervals unchecked. Verify the May 2025 fail reason with DVSA, since a no-defect failure often points to a documentation or lighting-visibility issue missed at initial presentation. Given the age and low mileage, expect original consumables such as tyres and wiper blades to show age-related cracking rather than tread wear. The previous owner kept the car to a sound test standard, but the limited history means in-person checks on exhaust emissions and steering joints remain prudent before purchase.
