2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FL12 TPZ

The 2012 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 37,508 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 28,435 miles at the 16 November 2021 test, rising to 31,379 by 23 November 2022, 33,834 by 14 November 2023, 35,870 by 20 November 2024, and 37,508 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 2,100 to 2,700 miles added each year. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though long stationary periods implied by low use can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing, as low-mileage cars left standing often suffer from stuck handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for rust, since the MOT record does not capture gradual deterioration between tests. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic pass standard without documented neglect. Verify service history independently, as MOT passes alone do not confirm fluid changes or timing chain condition on a car of this age.
