2006 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · FG56 ACF

This Toyota Yaris presents as mechanically stable with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 98,742 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of clean passes dating back to April 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,937 miles per year. The odometer readings show steady, low-volume usage, increasing from 92,625 miles in April 2022 to 98,742 miles by April 2025. This suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commuting, though the low annual usage can sometimes lead to perishing rubber components or battery degradation. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the underbody for corrosion, as surface rust often develops on older Japanese chassis regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the depth of the tyre treads is advisable to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related hardening of the rubber. The failure recorded on 17 April 2024 was resolved on the same day, and the lack of specific defect data for that entry suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the clean history, focus your inspection on fluid levels and the operation of the clutch and gearbox to confirm the mechanical health matches the paperwork.
