2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV08 HMD

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 98,998 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects over the observed period. Mileage remains low for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows 87,990 miles at the 2 November 2022 test, rising to 94,493 miles by 1 November 2023 and 98,977 miles by 30 October 2024, then 98,998 miles at the 2025 retest. That equates to roughly 5,500 miles per year overall, with only 21 miles added between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though long standing periods cannot be ruled out from mileage alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT entries record no advisories but low-use cars often develop structural rust through damp storage. The tester flagged no binding calipers or worn brake discs, yet brake fluid age and handbrake efficiency warrant a workshop check given the minimal annual mileage. The duplicate failure and pass on 30 October 2024 at 98,977 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. Previous owners appear to have kept the Yaris to a light-use schedule with basic annual compliance. Verify service history and underbody condition before purchase.
