Our Verdict
A sensible budget option for those seeki
Prioritise checking whether the advisories from the May 2022 MOT—specifically the worn anti-roll bar linkage, pitted brake discs, and damaged suspension top mounts—were addressed. If these components were not replaced, they may now require attention.
Review the service history to confirm regular oil changes, which is critical for the longevity of the 1.3L engine. Negotiate the price based on the age of the vehicle and any pending maintenance required to resolve the previous MOT advisories.
The 1299cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for city driving. As a 2005 model, it falls into a modest tax bracket and a low insurance group, making it an affordable daily driver.
Maintenance costs for the Yaris are typically low due to the availability of parts, though a vehicle of this age will require more frequent attention to rubber components and seals. Annual costs will primarily consist of fuel, road tax, and a standard annual service.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. Specifically, check for knocks or play in the anti-roll bar linkage and inspect the front suspension top mounts, both of which were flagged as worn or damaged in 2022. Examine the front brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the previous history.
Additionally, refer to the model's aggregate data and check the headlamps and tyres for wear, as these are the most common failure points for the Yaris across the wider UK fleet.
This 2005 black Toyota Yaris has recorded 108,042 miles, which is slightly below the model's average annual mileage. While the May 2023 MOT was passed with no defects, the 2022 test noted several advisories regarding the suspension and brakes. It presents as a typical example of a high-mileage petrol vehicle of this vintage.
The Yaris maintains a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a 79.9% average MOT pass rate across 470,762 analysed vehicles.
