2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FH08 EEZ

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 72,218 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a very minor rectification that was resolved immediately. The vehicle has covered approximately 4,012 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK average for an 18-year-old car. Mileage accumulation has remained steady and low, increasing by 4,480 miles between September 2022 and September 2024, and further by 1,400 miles leading into October 2025. This pattern suggests light urban use rather than long-term stagnation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions across multiple years. Such a void of recorded faults is unusual for a vehicle of this age and may indicate a history of preventative maintenance or simply a very gentle usage profile. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger MOT failures but degrade with age and low mileage. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked tyres due to age rather than tread wear, and potential seizure in brake calipers from under-use. Given the car's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody and sills is necessary, as the MOT record provides no evidence of previous rust concerns.
