2003 TOYOTA YARIS COLOUR COLL. VVTI1.3L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 148,345 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car successfully addressed the failure recorded in June 2025 and has since maintained a record of no defects or advisories in the subsequent test. The lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults and ensuring the vehicle remains legal for the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its twenty-three years, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per annum. There is a significant data gap in the record between the April 2017 test at 130,446 miles and the June 2025 test at 138,223 miles. During this eight-year interval, the vehicle covered only 7,777 miles, which indicates long periods of stationary or infrequent use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the vehicle's age and the history of low use. Despite the clean recent records, check for hidden corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common failure areas for this generation of Yaris. Inspect the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these parts perish over time even if the mileage remains low. Verify the brake discs for signs of pitting or corrosion resulting from the previous periods of inactivity.
