2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LM58 YEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 94,703 miles. This result follows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures in the previous year, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing defects once they are flagged. The lack of recorded defects in the last two passing tests indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components currently operate within acceptable tolerance parameters without evidence of escalating degradation or structural failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,261 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 81,542 miles in June 2023 to 88,987 miles in July 2024, and reaching 94,703 miles by mid-2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests sometimes mean that rubber-based components, such as bushings and seals, may degrade regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than high mileage wear. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for corrosion on the structural chassis and exhaust mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, check the condition of the brake discs for pitting or seizing, as these can occur if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking which often manifest despite low odometer figures.
