2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FD06 PSY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted on 31 October 2024 at 128,278 miles resulted with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully rectified. While the history shows a pattern of intermittent failures, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing necessary repairs to maintain legal compliance. At 128,278 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year over its twenty-year life, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older hatchback. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals, with a 3,064-mile gap between November 2022 and November 2023, and a 9,441-mile gap between November 2023 and October 2024. This steady mileage accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and braking systems. The failures recorded in November 2022 and November 2023 indicate that the vehicle previously had points requiring immediate intervention, though the specific mechanical causes were not detailed in this summary. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills, as these are common areas of concern for this model. Given the age and mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake calipers is essential to ensure the recent clean pass reflects a genuine lack of underlying mechanical wear.
