2003 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · MJ03 NJK

The 2003 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 24 December 2025 at 112,483 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure on 9 December 2025 at 112,480 miles that recorded no defects, indicating a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worsening conditions appear in the five tests spanning 2022 to 2025. Mileage sits at 112,483 against an estimated 4,891 miles per year for a 23-year-old vehicle, confirming very light use. The record shows only 4,407 miles added between the 6 December 2022 test at 108,076 miles and the 24 December 2025 test at 112,483 miles. Such low accumulation with clean passes at 109,749 miles (25 November 2023) and 111,227 miles (6 December 2024) suggests gentle motoring and no rapid wear cycles, though sparse testing leaves consumable condition between visits unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. The December 2025 failure with zero defects points to a possible plate or paperwork mismatch rather than corrosion or emissions trouble, but structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants visual checks for rust. Previous keepers clearly kept basic upkeep current, with no tyre, wiper, or binding caliper flags across the timeline. The absence of recurring advisories implies careful storage more than deferred maintenance, yet low mileage on an older Yaris can hide perished rubber and stale fluid that MOT checks will not always catch.
