2003 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · PK03 ADU

The vehicle holds a clean and consistent MOT record. Most recently, on 1 April 2026, it passed at 41,166 miles with no defects recorded, and the previous four annual tests, stretching back to February 2022, also passed without a single advisory. This indicates a mechanically stable vehicle that has not shown any worsening trend in braking, suspension, or structural integrity across the last four years of testing. The absence of any recorded defects is a strong indicator of regular upkeep rather than a car presented at the bare minimum. The recorded mileage pattern is low and steady. At roughly 1,790 miles per year over 23 years, this Yaris has clearly seen light use. The annual gains are modest, with the largest single jump being approximately 3,368 miles between the February 2025 test at 37,798 miles and the April 2026 test at 41,166 miles. That slight increase in usage does not represent abnormal wear. No periods of excessive accumulation or long standing gaps appear within this five-test history, so the low-mileage claim aligns cleanly with the odometer readings. Because the MOT data shows no advisory history, the usual consumable and corrosion checks become the buyer's responsibility. On a 2003 Yaris of this age, the key areas for a pre-purchase inspection are the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which commonly corrode or crack with age, and the brake discs and callipers, where binding is a known issue even on low-mileage cars. Pay particular attention to the underside for structural corrosion, especially around the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points; an MOT pass does not guarantee freedom from surface rust, only that it has not yet reached a fail threshold. The car's low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, but perishing rubber components and seized bolts are a direct consequence of age rather than distance.
