2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FT62 HZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 August 2025 at 68,608 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend following a period of mechanical failures in previous years. While the car struggled with specific suspension and tyre issues in 2024, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the owner has addressed the identified faults and brought the vehicle back to a standard operating condition. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,608 miles reflects a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the August 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,342 miles between 2024 and 2025. Low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading or seizing if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, focusing on the fractured offside front coil spring recorded in August 2024. Although this was repaired, the recurring nature of tyre wear and structural cuts across 2023 and 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or poor maintenance of consumables in the past. The nearside mirror damage noted in 2024 should be checked for structural stability. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is essential, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust despite low mechanical wear.
