2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · BK08 PBO

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2025 at 177,260 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes. The March 2024 record shows a failed entry on 26 March at 169,218 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 9,850 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 153,229 miles in March 2022, 161,906 in March 2023, 169,218 in March 2024, and 177,260 in March 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every pass carrying a clean sheet and no advisories listed across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 177,260 miles. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but MOT sheets only capture test-day condition. Check underneath for chassis rust and examine exhaust emissions hardware closely. The clean history suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, yet high-mileage Yaris models commonly develop worn steering joints and tired dampers that a road test will expose.
