2012 Toyota Yaris Edition VVT-I 1.0L Other · TUI 6498

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-12-19 at 97,449 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failure on 2023-11-28 at 97,026 miles—also with no defects—raises questions about the consistency of testing outcomes. The absence of recorded issues in subsequent tests suggests no immediate mechanical risks, but the lack of detailed fault reporting limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 97,449 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 6,961 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. Notable gaps exist in the MOT history, including a 31-month interval between the 2019-08-28 test at 65,917 miles and the 2022-05-26 test at 82,744 miles. This gap may indicate periods of reduced usage or potential neglect, though no defects were recorded in later tests. The consistency of passing results since 2018-08-30 at 58,394 miles suggests no significant deterioration in core systems. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but the 2023-11-28 failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. Checking for binding calipers, brake disc warping, and exhaust emissions compliance would provide further clarity. While the vehicle appears roadworthy, the lack of detailed defect reporting underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase assessment.
