2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · SX08 AXF

The vehicle is in a critical state of roadworthiness with a clearly worsening trend in condition. The most recent test conducted in January 2023 at 113,387 miles resulted in a catastrophic failure due to severe structural defects. The tester identified holed and corroded sills that significantly reduce structural rigidity, alongside excessive corrosion on the subframe and axle mounts. These issues represent a terminal failure of the vehicle's integrity, making the car no longer legal for road use. The recorded mileage of 113,387 miles over 18 years reflects a low-to-average usage of approximately 6,300 miles per year. However, there is a concerning gap in the record, as the last MOT was performed in early 2023. Given the current date in June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone a formal safety test in over three years. The low mileage does not offset the rapid degradation of the metalwork, which appears to have accelerated between the 2021 and 2023 inspections. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the entire chassis, sills, and suspension mounting points. The history shows a persistent pattern of corrosion, moving from surface rust and heavy oxidation in 2021 to structural holes and fractures by 2023. Recurring issues with worn front suspension arm bushes and rear bushes indicate that the suspension system is reaching the end of life. Furthermore, the split CV boot and corroded front brake pipe noted in the 2023 test suggest that mechanical maintenance has been neglected until components reached total failure.
