Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring co
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the underbody. The MOT records from both May and November 2025 explicitly mention corrosion on the rear subframe mounting and general underbody corrosion. You should inspect these areas closely to ensure the corrosion is not progressing beyond the 'not considered excessive' stage noted by the tester.
Secondly, check the condition of the headlamps. The 2024 and 2025 MOTs both flagged issues with the headlamp lenses and beam aim. Ensure the lenses are clear and that the beams are correctly aligned to avoid immediate post-purchase issues. Finally, confirm that the tyre issue noted in May 2025 (structural failure on the rear inner tyre) has been resolved with a quality replacement rather than a temporary fix.
As a 1.3L petrol model, this Yaris is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for a non-hybrid petrol vehicle of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for upcoming items like suspension components or tyres, as 'anti-roll bar' is a common failure reason for this model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are expected to be modest.
Detailed inspection of the chassis and subframe is mandatory. The MOT history specifically identifies corrosion in the rear subframe mounting area; use a torch to check the severity of this oxidation.
Inspect the lighting system thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of headlamp aim failures and lens clarity issues (noted in 2024 and 2025). Ensure both headlamps are clear of oxidation and that the beam pattern is sharp and correctly aimed. Additionally, check the condition of all tyres, specifically looking for any signs of sidewall damage or internal separation, following the structural failure recorded in the May 2025 MOT.
This 2006 Toyota Yaris (HU51ANZ) presents with significantly below-average mileage for its age, sitting at 57,066 miles. However, the MOT history reveals recent concerns regarding underbody corrosion and headlamp clarity. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025, the history shows a failure in May 2025 due to tyre structural issues and ongoing corrosion advisories.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
