2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YT08 ADZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2024 at 149,743 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures in both 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the owner addressed identified issues prior to re-testing. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 149,743 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 8,300 miles. This aligns with typical UK patterns for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 21,382 miles covered between February 2022 and February 2023, and another 17,521 miles between February 2023 and March 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension assembly, as vehicles of this age and mileage are prone to corrosion on structural mounting points. Inspect the rear subframe for signs of heavy rust and check the condition of the suspension bushes for tearing. Given the previous failures, a thorough check of the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear of the discs is also necessary to ensure that the issues which previously caused failures have been permanently rectified rather than merely masked.
