2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AE58 HFR

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 86,750 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 86,750 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,819 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light and consistent use: 82,298 miles on 21 September 2022, 84,549 on 25 September 2023, and 86,711 on 8 October 2024. Only 39 miles accrued between the 2024 and 2025 tests, implying the car stood largely idle for that period. The October 2024 record lists both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories across all five tests means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion was flagged. Low annual mileage and a clean sheet reduce expected consumable fatigue, though prolonged standing can stiffen tyres and seize calipers unseen by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake binding, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient rust or fluid degradation. Verify the 2024 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect.
