2005 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FN55 GHB

This Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of clean passes. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 63,529 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,025 miles per year. Between 30 August 2022 and 15 December 2025, the odometer rose from 49,532 to 63,529 miles. This indicates a steady but light usage pattern of approximately 6,000 miles per annum over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record is clean, the low mileage and age increase the risk of degradation from standing. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as light use often leads to seized components. Given the age of the car, a physical check for structural rust on the sills and chassis is necessary, as the MOT record does not highlight any previous corrosion issues but cannot guarantee the current state of the metalwork.
