2006 Toyota Corolla 1.8L Petrol · AD06 DKV

The Toyota Corolla shows a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 27 July 2022 at 149,461 miles returned a pass, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects cited, a pattern repeated from 22 July 2021 at 140,287 miles where a failure with no defects preceded a clean pass. This suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the record rather than mechanical deterioration, and the vehicle left its last examination roadworthy with no advisories. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,473 across the car's twenty-year life, a typical figure for the age. Between the July 2021 test at 140,287 miles and July 2022 at 149,461 the car covered 9,174 miles, a modest rise over the yearly average but no sign of rapid accumulation or long dormant periods. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across either examination year. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection given the four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026 and the absence of any recorded advisories. At 149,461 miles the original suspension components, binding calipers risk through lack of use, and structural integrity around sills and subframes warrant physical checks for hidden rust the MOT did not capture. The duplicated fail-and-pass entries on both test dates imply previous owners cleared minor paperwork faults quickly rather than neglecting upkeep, yet the record offers no evidence of consumable rotation such as tyres or wiper blades being monitored. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm the 2022 failure cause with DVSA before purchase.
