2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FV58 AFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the latest DVSA test on 16 July 2025 at 86,253 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance record shows a consistent pass each year, indicating a stable trend without emerging faults. Mileage accumulation averages about 4,792 miles annually, a figure that sits well below typical usage for an 18‑year‑old model. The gaps between tests are modest, rising from 77,993 miles on 21 July 2022 to 82,085 miles on 18 July 2023, then to 84,097 miles on 29 July 2024, before the final reading. Such incremental growth suggests the car has spent long periods idle rather than being driven intensively. A buyer should therefore focus on components that suffer from prolonged standing, such as suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for any binding or corrosion, and inspect the chassis and under‑body for rust that may have developed during idle phases. Even though the MOT history lists no advisories, a physical check of the exhaust system, structural integrity and tyre tread depth will confirm whether the low‑mileage claim reflects genuine care or simply a lack of use.
