2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DV08 AFX

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 resulted in a pass at 122,279 miles with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last four years without a single advisory, which is uncommon for a car of this vintage. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,793 miles per year. The usage pattern remains steady, with 5,827 miles added between August 2022 and August 2023, and a slightly higher increase of 16,075 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This uptick in recent usage indicates the car is currently in active service rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories concerning corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years is a positive indicator of previous owner care. However, a buyer should still physically inspect the underbody for structural rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor corrosion that does not yet compromise safety. Checking the condition of the brake discs and tyre tread depth is advised, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life given the recent increase in annual mileage. Overall, the data suggests a well-maintained example with no recurring mechanical trends to cause concern. The lack of flagged issues with exhaust emissions or steering components implies the drivetrain has aged gracefully. A physical check of the fluid levels and a test drive to confirm the absence of suspension knocks would complete the due diligence for this vehicle.
