2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FG58 GGK

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 67,651 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 67,651 over roughly 18 years equates to about 3,758 miles per year, confirming light use for the vehicle's age. The DVSA entries show steady, low annual accumulation: 57,991 miles in January 2023, 60,929 at the January 2024 pass, 65,172 in January 2025, and 67,651 in January 2026. A failed test on 3 January 2024 at 60,921 miles is logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 60,929 miles; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low-mileage cars of this age often sit unused for extended periods, which accelerates perishable component degradation such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewall cracking, and brake caliper seizure through lack of movement. The absence of advisories means corrosion, exhaust condition, and brake disc wear were within limits on test days but offer no guarantee of current state. Given the 3,758-mile annual average and zero flagged defects, prior keepers appear to have maintained the Yaris to minimum legal standard without obvious cost-cutting. The buyer should verify underbody structural integrity, check for standing-water rust in sills and subframes, and confirm brake freedom after prolonged storage before committing.
