2005 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · HJ55 JDK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2025 at 129,741 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent performance since a failure in early 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been well-maintained enough to meet DVSA standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 to 6,200 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage, with 6,119 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 3,276 miles between February 2023 and February 2024. This regular interval indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals in older Toyotas. Despite the clean status of recent MOT records, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion. Given the age of this Yaris, rust often develops in the sills, rear arches, and suspension mounting points which the MOT tester may not flag until they become significant. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for leaks or perished, as these are common points of wear on vehicles with this mileage that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure.
