2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CU06 OKD

The current roadworthiness verdict is negative, as the vehicle has failed twice on MOTs within the last two years, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance that has allowed wear to accumulate. The most recent test in the September 2023 test at 58,683 miles was passed, but this was preceded by a failure in the June 2023 test at 58,682 miles, where the offside direction indicator failed for three times. This sequence of failures suggests that the maintenance history is not stable and has been disrupted by repeated breakdowns rather than gradual deterioration. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap between the two most recent tests, with a 2023-06-28 failure occurring immediately before the September 2023 test. This rapid mileage accumulation between two consecutive failed tests indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a complete overhaul of its mechanical components, particularly the suspension and brake systems, which are prone to corrosion and binding. The high mileage combined with the failure of the direction indicator suggests that the drivetrain and suspension have experienced significant wear that requires immediate attention, as the vehicle is currently in a state of disrepair. Given the recurring faults and the rapid mileage gap, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the presence of corrosion, binding calipers, and worn suspension bushings. The history of failed MOTs on the direction indicator and suspension components highlights a structural risk that requires professional assessment before purchase. The vehicle's history indicates that basic upkeep was skipped, leading to the accumulation of wear that has now resulted in multiple MOT failures, making the roadworthiness status of negative and requiring urgent mechanical intervention.
