2012 Toyota Yaris SR VVT-I CVT 1.3L Petrol · YC12 KNW

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the November 2025 test at 37,071 miles passing with no defects recorded. The preceding examinations show the same clean outcome. In September 2021 at 31,040 miles the car passed. October 2022 at 32,727 miles brought another pass. November 2023 at 34,569 miles and November 2024 at 35,993 miles each returned fault-free certificates. This unbroken sequence demonstrates consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical faults. Mileage sits low for a fourteen-year-old hatchback. Total recorded distance of 37,071 miles equates to roughly 2,648 miles per annum. Annual increments have actually shrunk, from 1,687 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests to 1,078 miles across the latest year. Such restrained use points to short local journeys or lengthy storage periods. The DVSA history reveals no testing gaps beyond thirteen months, implying the former keepers maintained statutory compliance and likely addressed minor wear before each deadline. A clean MOT ledger does not remove the need for physical scrutiny. Low mileage and age elevate the chance of degraded rubber components such as suspension bushes and perished tyre sidewalls. The tester flagged no corrosion, yet structural integrity around sills and suspension mounting points should be visually confirmed for hidden rust. Brake discs and calipers may exhibit light corrosion or binding after standing, conditions a pass result would not always capture. The CVT transmission and engine mounts display no advisory entries, but fluid stagnation from infrequent running warrants verification. Exhaust emissions met standards at every test, though the catalytic converter and hangers deserve an underside look. Prior owners sustained a faultless test record, suggesting disciplined care rather than deferred maintenance. This Yaris stands as a technically sound prospect provided a buyer validates suspension, brakes and fluid state on site.
