2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SC08 OUU

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026 at 86,355 miles resulting in a clear pass. This record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully navigated its last three annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure item. The absence of recurring mechanical defects suggests that the current owner has adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, ensuring that wear-and-tear items are replaced before they reach the point of failure. At 86,355 miles over an 18-year lifespan, the Toyota Yaris averages approximately 4,798 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 4,788 miles added between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests, and a further 4,788 miles recorded by the February 2026 inspection. This steady usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the engine, seals, and drivetrain components have been kept in regular operation rather than suffering from the degradation often associated with prolonged storage. While the MOT history is exemplary, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle. Focus your attention on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often show signs of age-related fatigue on older Toyotas even when they pass testing criteria. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion, which can occur if the vehicle is parked for extended periods in damp conditions. Check the underbody for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points, to ensure that the clean MOT record reflects a genuinely sound chassis.
