2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · GP57 AEG

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 86,173 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,787 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 79,229 miles and the December 2025 test at 86,173 miles, the car covered 6,944 miles over nearly two years. This low annual usage indicates the car has likely served as a secondary vehicle or a short-distance commuter. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the lack of recorded defects over several years can sometimes mask the effects of low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to these issues. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, should be checked for perishing or cracking due to age rather than wear. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the records is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this vintage. However, because the MOT is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive mechanical health check, a physical inspection of the oil condition and coolant levels is advised to ensure the engine has not suffered from under-use.
