Our Verdict
A practical choice given the model's rep
Carefully review the service history to see if maintenance was performed between MOT tests, as the records show a pattern of allowing components like brake pads and tyres to reach critical limits. Verify that the CV boots, which failed in January 2025, were replaced with quality parts and are not leaking again.
Negotiate based on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Ensure that the headlamp lens issue mentioned in both 2025 and 2026 has been properly rectified rather than temporarily cleaned, as this has been a recurring point of concern in the MOT history.
The 1296cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for city driving. Insurance groups for the Yaris are generally low, making it an affordable option for new or experienced drivers.
Typical maintenance costs will involve regular oil changes and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Given the history of this specific vehicle, budget for more frequent tyre and brake checks to avoid the reactive repair pattern seen in its MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the tyres and brake pads; the January 2025 MOT recorded failures across almost all tyres (cracking, perishing, and cuts) and the August 2026 test failed on brake pads. Check the condition of the CV boots on both the nearside and offside front, as both were split and leaking grease in early 2025.
Examine the headlamp lenses closely. The MOT history from 2025 and 2026 specifically mentions 'product on the lens' affecting light output, which may indicate oxidation or poor-quality previous repairs that need addressing.
This 2008 black Toyota Yaris has recorded 118,518 miles. The MOT history shows a trend of failures related to consumables, specifically brake pads, tyres, and CV boots, most notably in January 2025. While it passed its most recent test in August 2026, the record indicates that maintenance is often performed only when required for a legal pass.
The Yaris is generally robust, with an average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across 470,762 analysed vehicles, though headlamps and tyres are common failure points.
