2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CP06 MTY

The most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 64,647 miles was passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards, though a failure logged on the same day for a non‑functional near‑side stop lamp and rear registration plate lamp reveals that minor lighting faults were present before the final pass. Apart from these isolated lamp issues, the vehicle has passed every test since 2015 except for two earlier failures – tyre damage in March 2022 and a fractured front coil spring in March 2021 – suggesting an overall stable maintenance record with only occasional, correctable faults. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 24,704 miles in March 2015 to 64,647 miles in November 2025, averaging roughly 3,232 miles per year, which is low for a 20‑year‑old car and implies periods of limited use or extended storage. The largest acceleration occurred between March 2022 (48,945 miles) and November 2024 (60,798 miles), indicating a phase of more regular driving, while the remaining intervals are roughly annual and show no abrupt spikes, supporting a pattern of light, consistent usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the lighting system, especially the near‑side stop lamp and rear registration plate wiring and bulbs, and verify that any previous lamp faults have been fully rectified. The history of tyre damage in 2022 and the 2021 coil‑spring fracture point to a need for a close examination of front tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and the integrity of suspension components such as coil springs, bushes and shock absorbers. Given the 2018 wheel‑bearing wear note, checking the condition of the wheel bearings and associated suspension linkages is advisable, and a visual assessment for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches is recommended despite the absence of recorded corrosion.
