2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WN58 XXP

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift from perfect condition to reactive component replacement. The most recent test in December 2025 at 83,283 miles passed despite advisories for the nearside front and offside rear tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a period of clean records starting in early 2025, suggesting that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected until the point of the next MOT inspection interval. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2024 at 73,120 miles and January 2025 at 79,158 miles, representing over 6,000 miles in a year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion, which is consistent with the structural issues noted earlier in the vehicle's history. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody. The 2023 test at 66,474 miles flagged corroded suspension and bodywork that required undersealing; a buyer should verify that this corrosion has not progressed into structural perforation particularly around the mounting points and sills. Additionally, the recorded wear on the offside front lower suspension arm bush in 2024 indicates that rubber components are beginning to age out. The prospective buyer should check for cracking or tearing in all suspension bushes to ensure the low mileage has not masked dry-rot failure of the suspension geometry.
