AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Toyota has 29 MOT tests on record with a 66% pass rate and 40,778 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety and structural issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage anomaly is present: 144,090 miles on 21 May 2019, but then a retest on 29 May 2019 shows 114,197 miles, a decrease of 29,893 miles.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 21 May 2019 (144,090 mi) and 29 May 2019 (114,197 mi), indicating a 29,893-mile decrease.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Suspension failure on 21 May 2019 (144,090 mi) and 29 May 2019 (114,197 mi), showing a 29,893-mile anomaly.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Steering failure on 21 May 2019 (144,090 mi) and 29 May 2019 (114,197 mi), with a 29,893-mile discrepancy.
  • Recurring chassis corrosion: Noted as 'excessive corrosion seriously affecting strength' on 21 May 2019 (144,090 mi) and 29 May 2019 (114,197 mi).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until June 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,437 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in May 2026.
