2003 Toyota Yaris T3 0.9L Petrol · TCZ 1116

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five testing cycles. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 55,938 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes dating back to 2021 indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,432 miles per year. Between June 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 5,487 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage pattern rather than long periods of abandonment. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain components, braking system, and engine internals. However, long intervals of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components that an MOT test may not fully detect. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation risks associated with low-mileage cars. The buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear mounting points, as moisture can settle in vehicles that sit frequently. It is also vital to examine the condition of suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls as these materials perish and crack over time regardless of the distance driven. The brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to rust buildup on the braking surfaces.
