2005 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FX54 UXW

The 2026‑01‑08 MOT at 157,915 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s present roadworthiness and showing a stable maintenance trend, as each subsequent test from 2023 onward has also recorded zero failures. Mileage accumulation over the 21‑year lifespan averages 7,520 miles per year; the interval from the 2023‑01‑06 test (149,182 miles) to the 2024‑01‑09 test (151,930 miles) represents a rise of 2,748 miles in twelve months, while the 2024‑12‑18 failure and the following 2024‑12‑20 pass at 154,395 miles show no mileage jump, indicating consistent usage without extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, check for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and structural integrity, as these components commonly exhibit fatigue at this mileage and age. Given the clean MOT history and typical annual mileage, the vehicle appears well‑cared for, but a prospective purchaser must confirm the physical state of the suspension, braking and structural elements in person before finalising the purchase.
