2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YF08 OTC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 104,605 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle has remained compliant following a failure in late 2022. This trend suggests that any mechanical issues identified previously were successfully addressed and that the car is currently operating within legal parameters without immediate recurring faults. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the car covered 10,833 miles, showing a consistent and moderate usage rate. While the low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which do not always register through mileage alone. Given the lack of advisories in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to aging on vehicles of this age. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and mounting points, as low-mileage cars often sit in environments that accelerate rust. Check the brake discs for pitting or surface corrosion caused by infrequent use, and verify the age of the tyres to ensure the rubber is not cracking despite having sufficient tread depth.
