2003 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · GV03 AUE

The 2003 Toyota Yaris presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 97,500 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across the entire supplied history. Annual mileage has remained consistently low for a vehicle of this age. The record shows 43,068 miles in February 2022, rising to 58,276 in February 2023, 72,234 in February 2024, 84,762 in February 2025, and 97,500 in February 2026. This equates to roughly 12,500 to 13,000 miles added each year, or about 4,200 miles annually since registration. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean test sheets suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current despite the car's 23-year age. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT excludes hidden corrosion not visible at test. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, or binding calipers, yet a Yaris of this vintage commonly develops rust at the rear axle and around the front crossmember. Check the brake discs for lip and the tyre sidewalls for perishing from low-use standing, even though tread passed. Verify the exhaust emissions system and coolant hoses for age-related degradation. The documented history implies careful ownership, but 23 years will test rubber and metal regardless of mileage.
