2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · HJ12 GAU

This Toyota Yaris demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 14,259 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 1,018 miles per year. The record shows a steady but minimal increase in usage, moving from 9,941 miles in March 2022 to 14,259 miles by February 2026. This suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary or has been used exclusively for short, local trips. While the MOT history is flawless, the low mileage and potential for long periods of standing introduce specific risks. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often leads to seized components. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or age-related cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the rubber suspension bushes and coolant hoses is recommended to ensure they have not perished due to lack of use. The absence of any advisories regarding structural corrosion over the last five years is a positive indicator, but a visual check of the underbody remains prudent for a fourteen-year-old chassis.
