2006 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · BF06 PSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2026 at 60,612 miles. The latest test, however, flags a deteriorating rear‑tyre condition: the nearside rear inner tyre is worn close to the legal limit and shows edge wear, while both rear tyres exhibit cracking and perishing. Earlier inspections from 2023 to 2025 recorded no defects, indicating a shift from a clean history to a worsening trend in rear‑tyre health. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 20‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year and reaching only 60,600 miles in total. MOT entries are recorded annually from 2012 onward, with each test spaced about a year apart and no substantial gaps in the record. The first documented test after the initial 2006 registration occurs in February 2012 at 31,935 miles, confirming a consistent inspection pattern despite the low overall usage. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres closely for uneven tread, cracks and perishing, and verify that the suspension bushes and shock absorbers exhibit no excessive play. Brake discs and calipers must be examined for corrosion or binding, and the chassis around the wheel arches checked for rust or structural damage, as the rear‑tyre wear suggests heightened stress on those components.
