2003 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DX53 FDN

The 2003 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2025 at 115,751 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual passes since 25 March 2022. The record shows no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the five years examined, indicating the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition acceptable to DVSA standards each time. Mileage sits low for a 23-year-old car at 115,751 recorded miles, averaging roughly 5,033 miles per year. The test on 25 March 2024 at 114,014 miles and the following year's test on 3 March 2025 at 115,751 miles show only 1,737 miles added in that period. Earlier, the 25 March 2022 test at 107,588 miles and 28 March 2023 at 111,646 miles reflect similarly light use. A failed test on 25 March 2024 at 114,014 miles appears immediately superseded by a pass on the same date with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the sparse and clean history, the MOT record alone raises no warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The low mileage and absence of advisories imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided prolonged neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts for hidden rust, as MOT passes at low mileages can miss slow structural decay on a car of this age. Verify the 2024 same-day fail context with DVLA paperwork, and check tyre sidewalls, brake caliper operation, and coil springs for age-related perishing not captured by the tester.
