2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP08 AHO

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 6 February 2026 at 131,011 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came only days after a failure on 31 January 2026 at the same mileage, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against either outcome. Such a same-mileage fail-pass sequence within six days suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect, and the vehicle carries no live advisories. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,278 miles across the car's eighteen-year life, a typical figure for the age. The records show steady annual use: 101,986 miles on 8 February 2023, 109,269 on 10 February 2024, 115,619 on 11 February 2025, and 131,011 on the February 2026 tests. The jump from 115,619 to 131,011 between February 2025 and February 2026 equals roughly 15,392 miles in twelve months, over double the prior yearly rate, indicating heavier recent use or a correction in recorded distance. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry, and the absence of advisories points to a lightly documented but apparently sound mechanical record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's 2008 build date and 131,011 miles, as MOT cleanliness does not confirm component life. The rapid mileage rise in the final year warrants scrutiny of consumable wear such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition that a pass test may not itemise. Verify the January 2026 fail-pass anomaly with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect, then assess drivetrain noise and binding calipers under road test before purchase.
