2005 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · EX54 XGK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in the February 2026 test at 129,064 miles. While the history shows instances of failure in early 2024 and 2025, the most recent inspection indicates no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner has been proactive in addressing mechanical issues identified by the tester, resulting in a vehicle that currently meets all standard road safety requirements for its age. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,064 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,146 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light use. The data shows 3,163 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 1,665 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. These intervals of low mileage accumulation generally reduce the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus on a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as older Toyota Yaris models are susceptible to structural corrosion in the sills and rear mounting points. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from perished suspension bushes or cracked tyres which often occur over time. Given the previous failures noted, a thorough check of the brake system for binding calipers or thinning discs is necessary to ensure that the issues which caused past failures have not returned due to recurring wear.
