2006 TOYOTA YARIS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 August 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order or has undergone preventative maintenance outside of the MOT process. The mileage is notably low for a twenty year old car, averaging roughly 5,058 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 97,833 miles and the August 2025 test at 101,165 miles, the car covered only 3,332 miles. Such low annual usage often indicates a vehicle used for short local trips or one that has spent significant time stationary. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage and age of the vehicle necessitate a physical inspection of rubber components. A buyer should check for perishing on the tyres and suspension bushes, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but the underbody and sills should still be inspected for surface rust common to this era of Yaris. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 28 August 2024 and 23 August 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, these were likely minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. A physical check of the brake discs and calipers for seizing is advised, as low-use vehicles are prone to binding calipers.
