2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · VA61 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The June 2026 test at 49,437 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following three consecutive years of defect-free results since 2023. This indicates a consistent level of upkeep and a recent period of mechanical stability. The mileage pattern shows very low annual usage, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year over the fourteen-year lifespan of the vehicle. The records show steady, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 4,471-mile rise between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests. This low-use profile suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or was used primarily for short, local trips. Previous advisories indicate minor issues related to age rather than heavy mechanical wear. The tester flagged thin front brake pads during the June 2020 test at 31,074 miles, and both the 2021 and 2022 tests noted cracking or perishing on the rear inner tyres. These issues are typical for a vehicle with low mileage where rubber components can degrade due to age and lack of movement rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the rubber components, specifically tyres and suspension bushes, to ensure no further perishing has occurred during periods of inactivity. While the recent history is clean, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and verifying the health of the battery and fluids would be prudent given the low annual mileage.
