2005 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · FP05 UDG

The most recent MOT test on 18 July 2022 at 108,619 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle without a valid pass for nearly four years. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from this data alone, as the single failure lacks stated reasons and the prior pass on 7 June 2021 at 97,353 miles carried no advisories. The record shows a clean but sparse history that ends on a failed test, so roadworthiness as of today cannot be confirmed from the DVLA data. The odometer moved only 11,266 miles between the June 2021 pass and the July 2022 failure, an average of roughly 10,000 miles over that thirteen-month span and well below the lifetime average of 5,172 miles per year for a 21-year-old car. Such low annual use for its age suggests periods of light running or storage, which on a 2005 Toyota Yaris often correlates with neglected fluid changes, flat-spotted tyres, and dormant corrosion rather than high-load mechanical wear. The four-year gap since the last test means the current 108,619 miles may be accurate or may have crept up undocumented. A buyer must treat the 2022 failure as an open question. The tester logged no defects, yet the car still failed, pointing to either an administrative error at the centre or a missing advisory such as an expired certificate item or unidentified emissions fault. Inspect the V5C and any garage invoices to establish why DVSA closed the test as a fail. In person, check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe for corrosion given the age and standing periods. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper bind, test exhaust emissions on a cold start, and confirm tyre sidewall condition after likely static storage. Without a fresh test, assume the Yaris is unroadworthy until a current pass is obtained.
