Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2005 Toyota Yaris has a very concerning MOT history that indicates a rapid deterioration in structural integrity. While the mileage of 151,351 miles is roughly typical for a 21-year-old vehicle, the mechanical condition is trending sharply downwards. The most recent MOT from July 2025 is a major red flag, as the vehicle failed on several serious safety items. Most critically, there is significant structural corrosion affecting the sills, floor, and chassis, which has progressed from "not significantly reduced" rigidity in 2024 to "significantly reduced" rigidity in 2025. This is a terminal issue for the vehicle's safety and longevity. Beyond the chassis, there is a recurring pattern of fluid leaks and corrosion. The vehicle has shown persistent oil leaks since at least 2023, and the most recent test identified a harmful antifreeze leak. Brake system issues are also escalating, with brake pipes moving from being merely corroded in 2021 to being "excessively corroded" in 2025, alongside a failure regarding insufficient brake lever travel and parking brake efficiency. The vehicle's condition is worsening significantly. What began as minor sub-frame corrosion and oil leaks has evolved into severe, structural metal rot and failing braking components within a single year.
