2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · PK08 PXO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 5 February 2026 at 72,072 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test only a few days prior to passing a re-test. This suggests that minor, fixable defects such as bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments are being addressed only upon failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At eighteen years old, the recorded mileage of 72,072 miles represents an average usage of approximately 4,000 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, which typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 2,894 miles, and it covered another 3,186 miles in the following year. This consistent, low-intensity usage suggests the car has been used sparingly, which can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related decay that low mileage does not prevent. Given the age of the Yaris, focus the inspection on structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches where Toyota models are prone to corrosion. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and inspect the brake discs for pitting or heavy rusting from the vehicle sitting stationary. While the MOT history shows no major mechanical failures, the recurring re-tests imply the owner performs only the minimum legal work to keep the vehicle on the road.
