2003 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · WP52 JTX

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 26 August 2025 at 70,010 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. This consistency suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained well-preserved without the recurring failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,044 miles per year. Between January 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 6,724 miles, showing a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of storage. The gap between the January 2022 and September 2022 tests shows a period of low activity, with mileage only increasing from 63,286 to 64,052 miles. While low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to brittleness. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of long-term standing rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. Inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel pans, as moisture can cause rust on stationary vehicles. Check the suspension bushes for spliting or cracking and verify that the brake calipers are not seized from lack of dislodgement. Additionally, ensure the tyres show no dry rot, as low-mile vehicles often retain aged rubber before the tread is exhausted.
