2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP08 JWL

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 26 September 2025 at 60,695 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between October 2022 and September 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date as the pass appears anomalous and likely administrative, given the recorded defects list is empty. Annual mileage sits low for an 18-year-old vehicle. The records show 50,308 miles in October 2022, rising to 53,288 by October 2023, 56,981 by September 2024, and 60,695 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 miles per year, confirming light use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps across the five-year window. The clean test slate means the history offers little evidence of deferred consumable or structural upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low-mileage Yaris models of this era commonly develop corrosion on sills, subframes, and rear suspension mounts even when MOT tests show clear. The tester recorded no structural or brake defects, yet worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, and degraded brake discs will not always trigger advisories at low speeds. Check tyre sidewall cracking from prolonged standing and verify the brake calipers free off cleanly. The absence of recorded faults suggests a careful keeper, but the 2025 duplicate test entry warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal match before purchase.
