2008 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · PL08 AEO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. Since the last test in October 2025 at 83,957 miles, the car has passed with no recorded defects. This streak of clean results extends back to 2019, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently well-maintained and that the owner is addressing issues before they become failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2008 registration, averaging only approximately 4,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, for example, only 1,343 miles accumulated between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests. While the vehicle has sat for short periods, the low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts perished or tyres degrading due to age rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system, as these have shown recurring issues. The 2018 failure at 68,876 miles revealed deteriorated front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides, which followed an advisory in 2017. Although these were rectified, a buyer should check for any new play or creaking in the steering geometry. Similarly, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2018; the current discs should be inspected for surface corrosion given the low annual mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer must verify the condition of the tyres for sidew cracks or flat spots. The history shows a 2015 failure for a structural bulge and a 2018 failure for a perished tyre, suggesting the rubber components are sensitive to age. The structural integrity of the chassis and sills remains unconfirmed as the record has not flagged any corrosion failures throughout the decade-long testing history.
