2008 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FH08 VWD

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 29 July 2024 at 140,384 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual tests from July 2021 to July 2024, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record signals consistent statutory compliance and suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a baseline that satisfied DVSA standards. Annual mileage sat close to the typical 7,800-mile average for an 18-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 95,122 miles in July 2021, 99,316 in July 2022, 120,840 in July 2023, and 140,384 in July 2024. The jump between 2022 and 2023 shows roughly 21,500 miles covered in one year, over double the norm, before dropping back to about 19,500 miles by July 2024. The DVSA data carries no gaps and no failed tests, so the history is sparse on fault detail but clean throughout. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as an 18-year-old hatchback at 140,000 miles will likely show age-related structural wear the MOT did not flag. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions system warrant physical checks despite no advisories, given the elevated 2022 to 2023 mileage stint placed heavier load on consumables. Verify the service history matches the recorded odometer to confirm the clean MOT trail reflects genuine care rather than test-centre leniency.
