I have done a bit of research on this as I have one obviously,and concerned about the consumption issue.It started with the MK1 VVTi,pre 2003,engines so you would have thought it would have been resolved by 2005?...My local,very helpfull,Toyota main dealer says it could affect a 2005 model,but unlikely.Percentage wise,I think it was low anyway.
The danger is somebody could have got rid because of this.Anyway,could you speak to the previous owner?Apart from these issues,the car is probably bulletproof,reliability wise,very comfortable,but with some tyre noise.
Phil.
