2003 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FL03 UTA

The Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 149,613 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with each eventual pass clearing the vehicle with no advisories or faults logged. The owner corrected whatever administrative or presentation issue caused the same-day fail on 26 January 2026, and a similar pattern occurred in January 2025. Mileage sat at 120,876 miles for the December 2023 pass, then rose to 135,267 miles by the 28 January 2025 failure and 135,297 miles at the 31 January 2025 pass, before reaching 149,613 miles by January 2026. That equates to roughly 6,500 miles per year, typical for a 23-year-old car. The record shows no rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps, though the sparse five-entry history gives limited visibility of intermediate wear. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass cycles in January 2025 and January 2026, with no defects listed on either the failure or pass, point to clerical or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and check for hidden rust on sills and subframes, as a clean MOT does not rule out age-related deterioration on a 2003 chassis. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged neglect. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition in person, but the DVSA data shows no worsening mechanical trend requiring immediate concern.
