2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FP08 VOK

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and currently sound mechanical condition, culminating in a clean pass on 27 August 2025 at 136,896 miles. The maintenance trend remains highly positive, with the most recent test recording zero defects. A failed test appears on the record for 8 August 2024 at 131,800 miles, yet notably, no mechanical defects were recorded for that failure. This typically indicates a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed cleanly on the very same day. The absence of recurring advisories or failures across recent years demonstrates consistent upkeep. The vehicle has covered 136,896 miles over roughly eighteen years, averaging approximately 7,600 miles annually, which aligns perfectly with typical domestic use. Between the August 2023 test at 125,743 miles and the August 2024 test at 131,800 miles, the Yaris accrued 6,057 miles, followed by a further 5,096 miles by the August 2025 test. However, the recorded mileage of 136,896 miles has remained static since the August 2025 pass, indicating the vehicle has either covered zero miles or has not been presented for testing in the ten months leading up to today's date of 8 July 2026. This prolonged stationary period warrants attention. Because the MOT history is entirely free of mechanical defects or corrosion advisories, there are no recurring fault patterns to pre-empt. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focusing on components that deteriorate during long periods of inactivity. Seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and flat-spotted tyres are common issues when a vehicle stands unused for nearly a year. Checking the condition of the exhaust system and fluid levels will confirm whether the stagnation has caused any internal corrosion or moisture ingress.
