2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · AF06 KVR

The 2006 Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 130,996 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a consistent test standard. Recorded mileage sits at 130,996 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,550 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this age of supermini. The odometer moved from 116,322 miles at the March 2023 test to 121,331 in March 2024, then 125,752 in March 2025 and 130,996 in March 2026, showing steady annual accumulation of around 4,500 to 5,200 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 13 March 2024 carrying no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions-retest anomaly rather than a mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the car's two decades of service. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is reassuring for a Toyota of this era, yet standing moisture and undertray grime can mask sills and subframe rust that a roadside MOT bay may not probe. Verify the 13 March 2024 failure paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect, and check tyre sidewall dates and wiper condition as consumables the tests never flagged. The history implies a careful prior owner who met annual obligations, but high-mileage urban cycles will have loaded the drivetrain and steering joints beyond what a pass certificate discloses.
