2006 Toyota Yaris T3 1.0L Petrol · LJZ 4102

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 March 2026 at 66,738 miles. Prior to this, an anomaly appears in the record on 3 March 2026 at 66,692 miles, where a failure was recorded without any specific defects listed. This suggests an aborted test or an administrative issue rather than a sudden mechanical failure. Since that date, the Yaris has passed with zero defects, indicating the underlying condition remains sound. Covering roughly 3,337 miles per year, the 66,738-mile total is exceptionally low for a 2006 model. The record shows consistent, incremental usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between 9 November 2022 at 64,678 miles and 6 January 2024 at 65,314 miles, the car added just 636 miles over thirteen months. From 10 December 2024 at 65,792 miles to 24 March 2026 at 66,738 miles, it covered 946 miles in fifteen months. This sporadic usage pattern means a physical inspection must focus on components that deteriorate from standing rather than high mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, the low-mileage, sporadic usage demands a thorough physical inspection of components prone to seizing or perishing through disuse. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as standing for extended periods causes rubber degradation regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for binding, as light use often prevents the self-cleaning action that removes rust from the braking surfaces. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and scrutinise the underbody for structural corrosion, which can develop on a vehicle that sits stationary for long durations. The clean MOT history implies diligent, if minimal, servicing, but the actual condition of perishable items will depend heavily on how the car was stored between these tests.
