2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · DG06 YSD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, consistently passing its MOT tests with zero recorded defects. In the most recent test on 26 January 2025 at 172,335 miles, the Yaris passed without any defects noted. The record shows a failed test on the same day at 172,333 miles, also with no defects recorded, which suggests an administrative anomaly or a rectification of a minor issue not documented in the final outcome. The pattern of clean passes indicates the vehicle meets minimum structural and mechanical standards. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,600 miles annually. Between the January 2023 test at 144,373 miles and the January 2024 test at 160,127 miles, the car covered 15,754 miles. This dropped significantly to 12,208 miles over the following year, reaching 172,335 miles by January 2025. The data is sparse but clean, showing no sudden spikes or suspicious drops that might indicate a clocked odometer. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must physically inspect the typical wear points for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, common issues on vehicles that may sit unused. Examine the exhaust system for leaks and the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes. Verify the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as consumables often degrade between tests and are not always flagged unless severely worn.
