2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BF58 NLM

The 2025 MOT for the 2008 Toyota Yaris shows it passed with wear on the rear tyres and a severely deteriorated CV boot . The rear tyres had perishing issues, a recurring theme in earlier MOTs, while the CV boot failure indicates a defect requiring immediate attention. This suggests it is not a critical safety risk but highlights wear on components that may degrade further. The MOT history reveals a pattern of tyre-related issues , particularly with the rear tyres showing perishing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These are likely due to wear from age or storage, as the vehicle’s very low mileage (74,045 miles over 18 years) implies light use or long periods of inactivity. However, it also shows defects in 2023 and 2024, including a failed seat belt and worn tyres , which were later addressed. The 2025 test indicates it has improved, but it remains vulnerable to wear in rubber and flexible components. The trend of issues appears stable rather than worsening. While it had defects in 2023 and 2024, the 2025 MOT shows it passed with fewer critical failures. However, it still has advisories for wear on the rear tyres and a defect in the CV boot, suggesting it requires monitoring.
