2005 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FL55 FSY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 106,611 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, just five days after a failure at the same mileage. This suggests a minor issue or consumable item was rectified immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. Since October 2022, the car has consistently passed its inspections without advisories, indicating a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,077 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 12,775 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 4,250 miles annually. This low annual mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low mileage on vehicles of this age can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components, such as bushes and tyres, if the car sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and rubber components, as the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults. While the history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for sills and wheel arch corrosion which are common in this era. Inspect the brake discs for signs of seizing or pitting, given the low usage which can lead to surface oxidation. The failure in November 2025 remains an anomaly without data, so verifying that the item replaced was a simple bulb or a minor sensor would ensure no hidden mechanical issues were overlooked.
