2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FL62 DZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 113,298 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a defunct nearside rear stop lamp and a damaged wing mirror. This mirrors a failure from October 2024 at 103,359 miles, suggesting that the owner only addresses minor electrical and external defects once they are prompted by a failed test result. At 113,298 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 8,100 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a city car of this age. There is a significant mileage jump of 21,791 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, representing a period of heavy use compared to the previous years. While the overall mileage remains reasonable for a Toyota engine, this sudden increase in usage places accelerated stress on consumables and suspension components which are not reflected in the older records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 test at 81,568 miles flagged corrosion on both front suspension arms and pitted front brake discs. While these were not listed as advisories in later tests, the buyer must verify if these parts were replaced or if the corrosion has progressed. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be checked for surface rust, as the previous report of corroded arms indicates the vehicle is susceptible to environmental damage over time.
