2005 TOYOTA 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 214,775 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation failure rather than a documented mechanical fault. Prior to that, the record shows a stable pattern of passes and minor re-tests, with the 12 April 2024 pass at 184,949 miles following a 3 April 2024 fail at 184,947 miles, also with no defects logged. The trend is neither worsening through accumulated faults nor resolving a known defect; the history is clean of advisories yet irregular in test outcomes. The odometer reads 214,775 miles against a 2005 build, averaging roughly 10,227 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 173,193 on 5 April 2023 to 184,947 by 3 April 2024, then to 184,949 nine days later, and jumped to 214,775 by September 2025, showing a heavier accumulation in the final year of around 29,800 miles. The repeated tests in April 2024 within days of each other, both with zero recorded defects, suggest the owner addressed a paperwork or identification issue rather than a worn component. A buyer should physically verify the reason for the September 2025 fail, since DVSA shows no defects but the certificate is invalid. Inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for hidden corrosion or binding, as none were formally advised but the high mileage invites wear. Confirm exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the claimed clean record before road use.
