2008 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · WN58 XVD

The Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 189,652 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of administrative failures immediately followed by passes, with no mechanical faults ever logged across the five entries from 2023 to 2025. The recorded mileage rose from 170,320 miles at the August 2023 test to 182,590 miles by 1 July 2024, then to 189,631 miles by 21 July 2025. That equates to roughly 10,500 miles per year, consistent with typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The record is sparse but clean between substantive tests, with the only notable feature being the two failed tests on 1 July 2024 and 21 July 2025, both cleared within days with zero defects listed. This suggests the failures stemmed from documentation or presentation issues rather than worn components. The absence of any advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the full history implies the previous owners kept the car to a passable standard, though high mileage at this age warrants physical scrutiny. A buyer should inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, examine subframe and sills for structural rust, and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades despite no flags in the record. Given the 189,652-mile total and the repeated same-week fail-pass cycles, the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical trend but reflects an owner content to meet minimum test thresholds. An independent inspection of drivetrain mounts and steering joints remains prudent before purchase.
