2006 TOYOTA YARIS1.3L PETROL

This 2006 Toyota Yaris passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, but the history reveals a concerning trend of neglect and recurring corrosion. The primary risk pattern is systemic corrosion of the brake pipes and suspension mounting areas. Brake pipe corrosion has been flagged consistently since at least 2024, and the most recent test shows that both the nearside and offside rear pipes remain corroded and covered in grease. This suggests that the underlying rust is being masked rather than properly repaired. The vehicle's condition is worsening. Recent failures include severely reduced headlamp output due to lens coatings and perishing rear tyres, indicating a lack of preventative maintenance. The mention of a corroded fuel filler neck in 2024 further confirms that chassis and pipework rust is a significant issue for this car. The mileage of 125,094 miles is typical for a 20-year-old vehicle. This suggests average use, meaning wear on the drivetrain and suspension is expected, but the corrosion issues are likely due to age and environmental exposure rather than excessive mileage. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody.
