2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YT08 ABV

This Toyota Yaris presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 42,846 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,380 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the odometer moved from 41,901 to 42,846 miles, a total increase of only 945 miles over four years. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary or served as a secondary vehicle for very short trips. While the MOT record is flawless, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks that the tester may not have flagged. A buyer should manually check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack due to age rather than wear. The brakes should be inspected for seizing or binding calipers, a common issue for cars that sit idle for long periods. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion is advisable, regardless of the clean MOT history. Checking the fluid condition and ensuring the battery holds a steady charge will confirm if the vehicle has been stored correctly or neglected during its periods of inactivity.
