This 2005 Toyota has 21 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 11,952 miles. The recent MOT pass in Sep 2025 still carries several unresolved advisories.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,270 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 82,656-mile history.
Things to check
- Sep 2025 MOT pass carries 4 unresolved advisories for engine oil, exhaust, and brake hose.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Aug 2023, Sep 2024) and engine oil advisories (6 tests) indicate ongoing wear.
- The 21-year-old vehicle will require significant maintenance and repairs, despite low mileage.
- The 2005 Toyota is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,270 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major recurring failures, only advisories, which can be addressed.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2025) confirms high safety standards for its age.
