2008 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · LG58 FME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on June 30, 2026 at 110,679 miles revealed several immediate concerns including a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and multiple tyre defects. This represents a recurring failure, as the same CV boot was flagged as far back as 2023 and 2022, suggesting the owner only addresses these components once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data between August 2020 and August 2021, where the mileage dropped from 154,480 miles to 69,624 miles, likely a clerical entry error or odometer replacement. Since that correction, the vehicle has progressed steadily from 69,624 miles in late 2021 to the current 110,679 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly in recent years, which helps prevent the drying of rubber seals and tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and drivetrain-related components. The anti-roll bar ball joints and dust covers have failed multiple times over the years, indicating a tendency for wear in this area. The 2024 failure regarding high carbon monoxide levels also warrants a check of the exhaust system and fuel mixture to ensure the engine is not burning excessively. Given the recent advisories for perishing and low tread depth tyres, a full set of new rubber is likely required to ensure safety and legal compliance.
