2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LX62 FMF

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently compromised, as evidenced by a series of MOT failures that have not been resolved since the September 2023 test. The most recent failure occurred on 2023-12-04, resulting in a failed test at 28,388 miles with an offside fog lamp missing, indicating a clear and persistent mechanical issue that has not been corrected. The mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle has accumulated wear rapidly over the past two years, with a notable gap between the September 2023 and December 2024 tests where the odometer reading was 33,212 miles. This rapid accumulation of miles, combined with the absence of any positive MOT results in the intervening months, points to a lack of adequate maintenance, likely due to the vehicle being left unattended for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the specific faults identified, including the offside fog lamp and the missing ball joint dust cover, as well as the windscreen wiper blade. If the wiper fails to clear the windscreen effectively, the suspension and brakes must be checked for binding or excessive wear, as these components are prone to failure under the conditions of poor maintenance and high mileage.
