2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AX08 NLZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and component wear. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 171,795 miles, the car passed despite advisories for a corroded front sub-frame and pitted front brake discs. While these issues did not result in a failure, the progression of rust on structural components suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where metal integrity may become a primary concern if not monitored. At 171,795 miles, this 18-year-old Yaris has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK annual usage patterns. The record shows consistent use between tests, with 13,806 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 1,655 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents mechanical components from seizing and rubber components seizing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame to ensure the corrosion noted in 2025 has not progressed beyond a repairable state. The history also flagged corroded rear coil springs in 2024 and a noisy wheel bearing in 2022, necessitating a check for suspension sag or play. Furthermore, the pitted front brake discs reported in 2025 indicate that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its life, and the system should be evaluated for remaining pad pad life.
