2003 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FG53 RFF

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 66,236 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive passes and no advisories logged. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring test failures beyond administrative anomalies at submission stage. The recorded mileage sits at 66,236 miles against a 23-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,880 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light use: 63,784 miles on 4 March 2024, 64,834 miles on 11 February 2025, and 66,236 miles on 10 February 2026. Annual accumulation stayed under 1,500 miles throughout. Two failed entries on 9 February 2026 at 66,234 miles and 8 February 2025 at 64,821 miles list no defects, indicating the car was submitted for test before documentation or fees cleared rather than for genuine faults. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age. Low mileage over long standing periods accelerates perishing of rubber components and surface rust on structural members even when the MOT shows clean. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept the car to minimum test standard rather than undertaking proactive refurbishment. Check the exhaust emissions and handbrake operation on site, and confirm the tyres are not aged-cracked despite adequate tread. The record implies careful but minimal upkeep, so mechanical condition beyond the test bay remains unverified by the data supplied.
