2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FL58 AEO

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with an improving trend in maintenance discipline. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 141,530 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards. While the car experienced failures in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes following those re-tests suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 7,120 miles, followed by another 7,251 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady annual accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals, gaskets, and brake components to prevent premature corrosion-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in February 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical causes of those rejects. Given the age and mileage of this Yaris, it is vital to inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear mounting points where surface corrosion is common on this generation. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake pipe lines to ensure that the recent passes have not masked underlying wear that is nearing its limit.
