2008 Toyota Yaris 1.8L Petrol · MF08 CAA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 February 2025 at 50,335 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,796 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between February 2024 and February 2025, where the odometer rose from 35,076 to 50,335 miles. This indicates a recent shift from very light use to more regular driving. The record shows a failed test on 21 February 2022 followed by a pass the next day at 27,256 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or quickly rectified issue. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from deterioration caused by periods of standing rather than active wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to seized components. The rubber elements, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be examined for perishing or cracking regardless of the low tread wear. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody is essential. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories over several years does not guarantee the absence of slow-developing rust in common Toyota Yaris areas. A physical inspection of the fluid levels and a check for perished belts will confirm if the low mileage was accompanied by a strict preventative maintenance schedule.
