2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FN08 JXU

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 123,330 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. Two earlier failures on 29 August 2025 at 122,985 miles and 10 September 2024 at 112,778 miles were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical condition problems. Annual mileage averages around 6,852 across the vehicle's eighteen-year life, which is typical for a car of this age. The records show clean yearly increments: 102,354 miles in September 2023, 112,778 by September 2024, and 123,330 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year over the last two intervals, a modest rise from the long-term average but no sudden accumulation that would point to harsh use or neglected servicing. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five tests suggests the previous owners kept the car to a reasonable standard. Failing twice with no defects entered implies the car was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork discrepancies rather than worn tyres or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the 2008 build date, and verify the brake calipers and suspension mounts are free of age-related degradation not captured in the MOT data. Confirm service history independently, since the clean record offers no evidence of internal engine or drivetrain care.
