2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV08 BVH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 11 August 2025 at 178,275 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While the vehicle failed a test one month prior in July 2025 at 178,234 miles, the immediate subsequent pass suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly by the owner. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, showing steady use. With 178,275 miles recorded, the car averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older commuter. The interval between the August 2024 test at 173,651 miles and the July 2025 test at 178,234 miles shows an annual of nearly 5,000 miles. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which is often better for seals and mechanical components than long periods of immobility. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components that typically show wear on this Yaris model. Given the 178,000-mile mark, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to check for degradation. The record does not show recurring structural corrosion, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the sills and wing arches for surface rust. Verify the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high mileage puts significant stress on these consumable components.
