About This Data

The 2021 Toyota Wish has an MOT pass rate of 56.8% based on 44 tests — slightly below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 81,303 miles on the odometer. With a 43.2% failure rate, the 2021 Wish is rated as "Below Average" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2021 Toyota Wish, budget for potential repairs before each MOT. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to body, chassis, structure: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. With an average mileage of 81,303 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.

Body, chassis, structure — 22.7% of failures

Body, chassis, structure issues account for 22.7% of MOT failures on 2021 Toyota Wish models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.

Suspension — 20.5% of failures

Suspension issues account for 20.5% of MOT failures on 2021 Toyota Wish models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.

Visibility — 13.6% of failures

Visibility issues account for 13.6% of MOT failures on 2021 Toyota Wish models. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300. Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers. Ensure both door mirrors are intact and adjustable.
