2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · AF08 MOF

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in June 2025 at 124,142 miles resulted in a pass, though noted a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint showing play. This represents a minor regression from the clean records of 2024 and 2023, but it indicates the owner is addressing component degradation before it reaches critical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between May 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 4,192 miles, suggesting regular but light annual use. The gap between the April 2022 test and the May 2023 test shows a steady progression, indicating the car does not suffer from long periods of standing which can often lead to brittle rubber components or seized brakes despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the history shows a fractured coil spring in May 2023 at 119,950 miles and current anti-roll bar linkage play. These faults suggest the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. Verify the headlamp alignment to ensure the previous failure was correctly rectified, and check the underside for structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not currently flag any rust or structural integrity issues on this eighteen-year-old chassis.
