2006 Toyota Corolla 1.8L Petrol · DA06 XBM

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record with two consecutive passes and no defects or advisories recorded. The most recent test, conducted on 19 October 2022 at 193,622 miles, returned a pass with no faults. The prior test on 22 October 2021 at 184,379 miles also passed cleanly. This establishes a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical issues flagged by DVSA testers. However, the last valid MOT expired in October 2023, meaning the vehicle has operated without a current test certificate for approximately three years and nine months as of today. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests covers 9,243 miles over twelve months, equating to roughly 770 miles per month. This aligns with the typical annual figure of about 9,681 miles for a vehicle of this age, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than extended periods of inactivity or abnormally high mileage accumulation. No gaps in the record indicate the car was off the road for prolonged stretches, and the steady accumulation supports the inference that the vehicle has been used regularly. With no defects ever recorded across the available history, there is no documented pattern of recurring faults in the brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural components. The tester flagged no binding calipers, no corrosion-related structural concerns, and no suspension bush wear at either test. This does not guarantee those systems are sound today, given the elapsed time since the last inspection. A buyer should arrange a thorough in-person inspection focusing on brake disc and pad thickness, suspension bushes and coil springs, exhaust system corrosion, tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and any signs of structural rust or chassis fatigue, particularly given the 193,622-mile odometer reading and the three-year gap in testing.
