2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · MA56 AAJ

The 2006 Toyota Yaris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 31 January 2024 at 137,816 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the vehicle cleared all statutory checks including emissions, braking efficiency, and structural integrity. This unbroken pass sequence from 2019 through 2024 shows no worsening trend and no recurring advisories requiring monitor-and-repair action. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,891 miles per year against the vehicle's twenty-year lifespan. The records show gentle accumulation: 125,814 miles in July 2019 rising to 137,816 by January 2024, a total of 12,002 miles over fifty-four months. A six-month gap exists between the July 2019 and December 2020 tests, then a shift to winter testing dates from December 2020 onward. The sparse five-entry history contains no failures, no advisories, and no consumable wear flags such as tyre tread or brake disc limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposed winters. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust deterioration, yet testers routinely miss incipient rust behind sills and arches. Verify the service history matches the low annual use, as standing periods can degrade seals and brake hoses despite a clear test record. Pre-purchase checks must include a road test for steering wander and a ramp assessment of the underbody. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners addressed faults before each test, but twenty-year-old Toyotas commonly develop perished rubber mounts unseen by DVSA rollers. Confirm timing chain condition and coolant integrity, neither captured by MOT scrutiny.
