2005 Toyota Yaris: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 55% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link bushes 12.1×, headlights 1.8×, brake lights 1.8× 45,730 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 57% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link bushes 11.2×, coil springs 2×, headlights 1.7× 3,714 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
