2012 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · MT62 MSV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 54,207 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a period of consistent clean passes over the previous years. While a single failure occurred in May 2023, the immediate re-test the following day suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified promptly to maintain operational standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,872 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 49,313 miles and June 2025 at 54,207 miles, the car covered only 4,894 miles. This low usage indicates minimal mechanical strain, which typically preserves internal engine components and drivetrain assembly. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time rather than wear and tear. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perished, as these elements degrade through oxidation regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, as infrequent use often leads to piston seizing. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity for underbody rust is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
