2012 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YT62 ACJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and exemplary maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 11 March 2026 at 76,117 miles resulted in no defects recorded, mirroring the trend of clean passes over the previous five years. This consistent lack of failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural regressions that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 56,530 miles and March 2026 at 76,117 miles, the car covered 19,587 miles, indicating consistent but light usage patterns. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid quality regardless of the low mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Focus should remain on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls, which can become brittle or crack over time even with minimal use. Checking the brake calipers for binding or corrosion on the discs is also advisable, as unused brakes often suffer from surface rust. Verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion ensures that the age of the vehicle has not compromised the underlying frame.
