2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP08 RMU

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 12 March 2026 at 95,311 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from March 2024 onward either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The test cycle shows no recurring advisories, corrosion flags, or worn consumables logged by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 95,311 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,295 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example. The odometer moved from 82,851 on 18 March 2024 to 82,852 the next day, then climbed to 85,819 by March 2025 and 95,311 by March 2026. That final 12-month span added 9,492 miles, the only period of above-average use; prior years show near-dormant storage. Sparse clean records give little insight into component condition, though low standing mileage often conceals perished rubber bushes and seized brake calipers. The twin failures logged on 18 March 2024 at 82,851 miles and 12 March 2026 at 95,311 miles carry no recorded defects, pointing to documentation or identification issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension arms, coil springs, and brake disc faces for rust pitting from prolonged inactivity. Exhaust emissions and structural underbody integrity warrant a ramp check given the vehicle's age. Given the absent advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, yet the long static intervals mean in-person verification of tyre sidewall cracking and handbrake function remains prudent before purchase.
