2003 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WL52 LSV

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 224,282 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its annual examination after two earlier administrative failures that carried no recorded mechanical defects. The owner has kept the car to a consistent test schedule across the past three years. Recorded mileage stands at 224,282 against a 2003 build, equating to roughly 9,750 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The log shows 217,965 miles on 27 March 2024, rising to 217,992 by 12 April 2024, then 221,605 on 10 April 2025 and 224,039 at the 31 March 2026 failure. Annual accumulation sits near 3,000 to 3,600 miles, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps that would hint at neglected storage or hard commercial duty. The March 2024 and March 2026 failures list no defects, which points to documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worn consumables or structural faults. No advisories appear across any entry, so the DVSA record exposes no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches for the buyer to chase. A purchaser should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and coil spring seats given the 23-year age and high total mileage, as MOT systems omit latent rust until it breaches the pass threshold. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres carry legal tread, since the sparse record gives no evidence of recent consumable renewal.
