AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Toyota has 24 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 27,207 miles. The recent MOT pass in Dec 2025 still carries a MINOR registration plate lamp advisory and an ADVISORY for engine oil.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 3,853 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years from 2,000+ miles to under 1,500 miles annually.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Dec 2020, 2021, 2022), suspension (Dec 2020, 2021, 2022), and brakes (Dec 2022) indicate chronic wear.
  • The Dec 2025 MOT pass carries a MINOR registration plate lamp advisory and an ADVISORY for engine oil.
  • The 23-year-old vehicle's low mileage (27,207 miles) for its age is a significant red flag for potential neglect.
  • The Dec 2024 MOT failure for emissions and subsequent retest pass suggests a borderline pass.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects have been recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory suggests a single owner or careful use.
