2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · AF08 LLG

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 23 March 2026 at 148,086 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects or advisories at any stage, and the latest test sits roughly three and a half months before the current date, indicating the record is fresh. A failed attempt on the same day as the pass, with no faults listed, points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage averages around 8,200 across the vehicle's eighteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 94,212 miles at the March 2024 test, 120,297 miles on the failed entry of 27 March 2025, and 120,325 miles when it passed the next day, before reaching 148,086 miles by March 2026. The jump of nearly 28,000 miles between spring 2025 and spring 2026 is the largest single-year gain in the data, suggesting heavier use in the final period. Prior to that, accumulation was steady and unremarkable. With no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the history gives no signal of recurring wear items or structural risk. The clean run from 2024 through 2026 implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits. A same-day fail and pass in both 2025 and 2026 with zero defects recorded suggests clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody for corrosion given the car's age and the 2025 to 2026 mileage surge. Verify the V5C and test certificate align with the duplicated 2026 entries. The absence of flagged faults in the record does not remove the need for a hands-on check of suspension and structural integrity before purchase.
