2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · FE06 MXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test on 20 June 2024 at 112,396 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately to meet testing standards, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisories or failures since 2021. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,620 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2024, the car covered only 8,215 miles, indicating very light annual use or potentially long periods of stationary time. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the vehicle increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based parts, such as suspension bushes, engine hoses, and brake lines, which are not always captured by the MOT test. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the underside. A buyer should check for surface or structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, which is common in vehicles of this era regardless of mileage. Additionally, inspect the brake calipers for signs of seizing and the tyres for age cracking, as low-frequency use can lead to components hardening and drying out over time despite adequate tread depth.
