2005 Toyota Yaris 1.5L Petrol · AF05 LRY

The 2005 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 December 2025 at 91,410 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 2 January 2025 at 88,208 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage stands at 91,410 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 4,353 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 85,753 miles on 2 January 2024, 88,208 on 2 January 2025, and 91,410 on 27 December 2025, reflecting low annual use with no rapid accumulation. A failed test on 2 January 2024 at 85,753 miles recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with an immediate pass logged the same day. Prior entry is 80,917 miles on 29 December 2022, leaving a one-year gap with no intermediate records. The clean MOT history gives no cause to suspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion issues. Low mileage and a 2024 fail with no defects logged imply the car spent periods stationary, so a buyer should physically inspect for dormant-weather deterioration such as underbody rust, perished rubber mounts, and flat-spotted tyres from standing. Verify the brake calipers are free and the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the extended idle periods. Given the sparse but clean record, in-person checks should focus on consumable condition over serious mechanical risk. Examine wiper blades, tyre sidewalls, and fluid contamination. The previous owner appears to have maintained basic statutory testing, though the single-day fail without defect suggests test-centre error rather than neglected upkeep.
