2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · EJ58 CDK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 93,639 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a technical failure just ten days prior at 93,397 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue or administrative oversight that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures in subsequent inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows steady but infrequent usage between December 2022 and June 2025, where the car covered 5,967 miles over roughly 30 months. The gap between annual tests is regular and predictable. This low mileage typically reduces the mechanical wear tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to age-related issues, such as the degradation of rubber seals or fluid breakdown which are not captured by mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low usage, the primary concerns are structural integrity and surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which often affect older Japanese regardless regardless distance driven. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished, as rubber elements dry out over time when a car sits stationary. While the MOT record shows no history of binding calipers or worn discs, a manual check for brake corrosion is advisable to ensure the braking system has not seized during periods of low operation.
