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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 70,661 miles. While it has passed most tests, the high mileage and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 15,300 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2010-2011 (134,968 mi to 140,491 mi).

Things to check

  • High mileage (172,251 mi) for a 2003 vehicle suggests heavy use.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Dec 2008) escalated to a major failure (Mar 2013).
  • Significant service gap in 2010 (no MOT recorded) raises maintenance concerns.
  • Multiple major failures (suspension, lights, brakes, emissions) across its history.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • Most recent MOT pass (Apr 2014) after addressing prior failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage drops.
