2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FD08 EZA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the last three testing cycles. The most recent MOT conducted in February 2023 at 185,294 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred in late February 2022 just one day before a passing result, the immediate re-test success suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to return the car to the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between May 2019 and January 2021, the car covered 38,524 miles, representing a period of high usage. The subsequent interval of 41,024 miles between January 2021 and February 2023 shows a return to a more standard usage rate. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which often prevents the internal degradation of seals and components typically seen with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components inherent to the 185,000-mile mark. Although the MOT history is clear of structural rust failures, the inspector must check for developing corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and exhaust system. Given the age and distance, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pipeworkrelated discs is critical. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, a current MOT inspection is mandatory to identify any new mechanical wear or perished rubber that has developed since the 2023 entry.
