2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FH08 EAP

This Toyota Yaris presents as mechanically stable based on its MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 August 2025 resulting in a clean pass at 141,025 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the last three tests suggests a vehicle that is currently well-maintained. The overall trend is positive, as the car has consistently passed its inspections without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age, averaging roughly 7,835 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 90,525 to 121,659 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new mechanical defects, indicating the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without immediate degradation. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same or following day, specifically on 2 August 2023 and 30 July 2024. Because no specific defects were recorded for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. There is no evidence of chronic issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs in the official data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails, as these are common failure points for this model that may not be flagged until they become critical. Given the mileage of 141,025, checking for oil leaks and assessing the condition of the exhaust system is advisable. The lack of advisories is encouraging, but a manual check of the brake pedal feel and tyre tread depth will confirm if the current upkeep remains consistent.
