2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FM08 RFX

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 25,964 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Across the five available annual tests from 12 July 2021 to 8 July 2025, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or faults raised. The absence of any recurring or worsening mechanical issues indicates consistent statutory upkeep by prior keepers. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for an eighteen year old car. The odometer advanced from 17,841 miles at the 12 July 2021 test to just 25,964 miles by 8 July 2025, an increase of 8,123 miles over four years or roughly 2,031 miles per year. Annual increments stayed low throughout, with only 3,464 miles added between July 2023 and July 2024. Such low accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, though the clean MOT trail gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on corrosion and perishable components that low mileage and inactivity can mask. The tester logged no structural or suspension concerns, yet standing vehicles commonly develop seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded rubber bushes unseen in a pass result. We recommend checking underneath for chassis rust and verifying the condition of brake discs and hoses before purchase. Given the sparse but clean record, the Yaris shows no warning signs of serious mechanical risk. The prior owners maintained statutory test compliance, but the low yearly use means in-person checks on fluids, battery health, and tyre sidewall cracking remain prudent given the car's age.
