2008 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · YT08 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest test conducted on September 4, 2025 at 126,136 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in March 2025, the subsequent pass six months later suggests that any identified issues were addressed promptly by the owner rather than left to deteriorate. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles annually. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 3,523 miles, while it added another 3,511 miles between April 2024 and March 2025. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals due to periods of inactivity. The data is clean, showing a steady progression of mileage from 119,091 miles to 126,136 miles. Because the MOT history lacks recurring advisories or repeated failures for specific components like suspension bushes or brake lines, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation. A buyer should check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and wheel arches, which is common for vehicles of this era regardless of mileage. The low usage necessitates verifying the condition of tyre sidewalls and the state of the brake discs, as these parts can suffer from surface rust when the vehicle is not driven frequently.
