This 2005 Yaris Colour Collection is a genuine reliability concern: only 61.2% pass the MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, with petrol examples performing catastrophically at a 0.6% pass rate (likely a data anomaly affecting 150 vehicles). The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.
With a median mileage of 95,797 miles for a 19-year-old car, these Yaris models have been driven moderately and are wearing their age—the 0.77 average failures per vehicle reflects typical wear items like brakes and suspension rather than systemic defects. Before buying, budget for pre-purchase inspection to understand what repairs have been deferred, and specifically ask the seller for a full MOT history to see the pattern of failures over time.
The 2005 Toyota Yaris Colour Collection passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (85.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 548 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
