2008 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FN08 LXW

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 44,869 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since February 2023. The March 2025 entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage as a pass, with no defects listed; this points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stands at 44,869 against an eighteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,493 miles per year. The car gained only 2,225 miles between the February 2024 test at 40,643 miles and the March 2026 test at 44,869 miles. Such low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods. Sparse but consistent annual tests show no rapid accumulation or missing years, and the clean sheets imply the previous keeper addressed consumables before each expiry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber and seized components the MOT may not catch at a static test. Structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes warrants close checking given the vehicle's age, despite no advisories being raised. The absence of recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust, or emissions reflects either careful storage or light urban use. Verify service history and confirm the 2025 duplicate entry with DVSA records before purchase, but on current evidence the mechanical outlook is sound for its age.
