2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · NG08 XVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 31 January 2026 at 150,628 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a brief failure in early January 2025 which was rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day, indicating that the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical failures to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern remains remarkably consistent for an 18-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 15,024 miles, while the subsequent period between February 2024 and January 2025 saw 16,644 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular annual use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, bushings, and brake components that suffer from corrosion or seizing when a vehicle sits stationary. While the recent records are clean of advisories, the high mileage of 150,628 miles necessitates a physical inspection of age-related wear items. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension coil springs and arm bushes for perished rubber, as these often degrade on Yaris models of this era. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, a thorough check of the sills and rear subframe is required to ensure corrosion has not begun to develop beyond the tester's visual reach. Checking for oil leaks around the engine head and manifold is also advisable, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Toyota engines.
