2008 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L Petrol

This Toyota Yaris presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 105,692 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical stress. The mileage is low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,872 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 82,972 miles in December 2021 to 105,692 miles by November 2025. This linear progression indicates regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized brake calipers. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion. The DVSA tests focus on structural integrity and safety, but they may not flag early-stage surface rust on the chassis or suspension components common in vehicles of this age. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for hairline cracks, as these degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regularly. A clean MOT record proves the car meets minimum legal safety standards, but it does not confirm the health of the engine internals or the transmission. Given the lack of recorded advisories for tyres or brakes over the last five years, the current owner appears diligent, but a manual check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is advised to ensure consumables are not now due for replacement.
