2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · J20 MBH

The Toyota Yaris has a stable roadworthiness trend, with all tests passing since February 2024, though it failed twice in 2025 and 2024. The most recent test in February 2026 at 57,304 miles confirmed no defects, suggesting the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant closer inspection, as they indicate intermittent issues that may not have been fully resolved. The absence of defects in the February 2026 test suggests these issues are no longer present, but the history implies potential recurring problems that require further investigation. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually low for its age. Over 14 years, it has covered just 57,304 miles, averaging roughly 4,093 miles per year. This suggests either very light use or extended periods of inactivity. The most recent test in February 2026 reflects this low mileage, with only 34 miles added since the previous test in February 2025. The vehicle's low mileage may indicate lighter wear on consumables like tyres and wiper blades, but it also suggests less stress on structural components like suspension bushes and coil springs. However, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest that while the vehicle may have been parked for long periods, it was not maintained during those times, as evidenced by the failures at the same mileage in consecutive years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. The recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 may indicate underlying issues with these systems that were not fully addressed. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes or damaged coil springs, as these components are prone to wear over time. The brakes should be inspected for binding calipers or worn brake discs, as these issues can lead to recurring failures. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or damage, as these can affect emissions and structural integrity. Additionally, the vehicle's electrical system should be inspected, as recurring failures may indicate underlying electrical issues that require attention.
