This 2005 Toyota has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 192,736 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2018-08-02, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows high annual usage of 20,335 miles/yr, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles, with a notable 2011 service gap and inconsistent readings.

Things to check

  • MOT currently Not valid (expiry 2018-08-02) — no active certificate.
  • High mileage (192,736 mi) for a 2005 vehicle — accelerated wear.
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (5 fails), Lights (3 fails), Brakes (2 fails) — systemic neglect.
  • Dangerous defect: Offside Front Lower Macpherson strut insecure (Jun 2015) — structural integrity concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was in 2015.
  • Consistent high mileage — no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No recurring dangerous defects — all past failures were addressed.
