2003 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LT03 AEF

The 2003 Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 91,967 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date and mileage showing no defects logged by the tester. Prior annual tests in September 2024 at 87,550 miles, September 2023 at 83,188 miles, and October 2022 at 79,100 miles all passed clean. The maintenance trend is steady with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 91,967 against 23 years of age, an average of roughly 4,000 miles per year. The car covered 4,417 miles between the October 2022 and September 2023 tests, then 4,362 to September 2024, and 4,417 to the 2025 test. That consistent annual use points to light but regular running rather than long storage or neglect. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry bar the unexplained 2025 failure carrying a clean sheet. The same-day fail and pass on 18 September 2025 with no defects noted suggests an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical defect. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and DVSA portal show a valid pass. Given the low mileage and clean history, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe areas for corrosion typical of a 23-year-old vehicle. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and verify exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the recorded low wear. The absence of advisories means no specific structural or mechanical risk is flagged in the official record.
