Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 124,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2012 Vitz (market name for Toyota Yaris in some regions) normally comes with small 1.0–1.5 petrol engines; automatics from this era are either a simple 4-speed torque-converter or a CVT depending on trim. Automatics are convenient in town but usually cost a little more fuel than the manual; CVTs need their own service attention (periodic fluid/drive-belt checks) whereas the older 4-speed boxes are mechanically simpler. Parts are common across Europe so replacement items and tyres are easy to source in Ireland.
- Automatic gearbox operation when cold and warm – no harsh shifts, slipping or delayed engagement and check transmission-fluid colour if accessible
- If CVT fitted, ask for proof of CVT/ATF service history and listen for unusual high-rev whining under acceleration
- Rear arches, sills and lower door edges for corrosion or bubbling paint (common on 14‑year‑old small cars)
- Front suspension top mounts and anti‑roll bar links for clunks; also check for uneven tyre wear indicating alignment or suspension wear
- Exhaust condition and visible underbody rust (surface corrosion is normal, deep perforation is a problem)
