2003 Toyota Yaris GS D-4D 1.4L Diesel · ENZ 4157

The most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 was a PASS at 216,972 mi, just eight days after a FAILED test on 15 February 2026 that recorded no defects. Earlier years show a similar pattern: a PASS in January 2025, a PASS in January 2024, and a FAILED test in December 2023 – each failure also listed no defects. This alternating PASS/FAIL sequence suggests the failures are likely administrative or minor issues that were corrected quickly, rather than a growing mechanical problem. Overall the trend appears stable rather than worsening. At 216,972 mi for a 23‑year‑old Yaris, the average is about 9,400 mi per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage does not point to extreme hard use, but it also does not indicate long periods of inactivity; wear on consumables, suspension, brakes and the diesel drivetrain should be considered normal for this mileage. Key checks for a buyer: - Ask the seller for the exact reasons behind the two recorded failures and confirm they were resolved. - Inspect the brakes, suspension bushes, and drivetrain for any signs of wear or leaks. - Verify the service history and look for regular oil changes and timing‑belt/chain service. - Check the MOT certificate for any advisory notes that may not have been listed as defects.
