2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FN12 UNR

The 2012 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 82,730 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. A prior test on the exact same date and mileage shows a failure, yet notably lists no defects, indicating a likely administrative anomaly or an immediate retest following a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories or failures across the documented history demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light use. Between 28 November 2022 and 27 November 2024, the odometer advanced from 61,062 to 72,594 miles. The subsequent year saw a sharper increase of 10,136 miles, taking the total to 82,730 miles by November 2025. Across its fourteen-year lifespan, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,909 miles per year. Such low usage suggests the car spent significant periods stationary, a factor that demands careful scrutiny of perishable components despite the clean MOT record. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories, the low-mileage profile necessitates a focused physical inspection. Buyers should examine the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread for date codes and perishing, as rubber degrades with age rather than mileage. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts require close inspection for dry rot and cracking, common issues on vehicles that sit idle. Assess the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the underside for any signs of structural rust, ensuring the extended periods of inactivity have not compromised the vehicle's long-term durability.
