2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · PK08 TZX

The 2008 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 180,694 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 14 August 2023 at 128,768 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at identical mileage and no defects logged. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 10,000 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows steady accumulation: 105,336 miles in September 2022, 128,768 by August 2023, 153,027 by August 2024, and 180,694 by August 2025. No sudden jumps or dormant periods appear. The sparse history with five entries across four years limits deep trend analysis, but the consistent clean passes imply routine use and basic upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and high total mileage. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns across the recorded period. The clean advisory history means no recurring wear patterns demand urgent attention. Verify service records and check for undocumented consumable replacement such as tyres and wiper blades before purchase.
