2006 Toyota Yaris 1.4L Diesel · GU56 AFF

The 2022‑09‑14 MOT passed the 2006 Toyota Yaris at 167,388 miles, confirming roadworthiness at that date, yet the repeated corrosion of the rear axle, coil springs and persistent brake disc wear indicate a maintenance pattern that has not improved. The recorded mileage averages about 8,369 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 20‑year age, but the jump from 82,058 miles in the 2012 test to 112,260 miles in the 2014 test shows a period of accelerated use, while later intervals remain more modest, suggesting the car has been driven regularly without prolonged idle periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear axle and subframe for structural rust, examine the condition of both rear coil springs and any aftermarket modifications, verify the integrity of the drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot, assess brake disc scoring and pad wear, check tyre tread depth especially on the inner edges, test the functionality of all lamps and washer jets, and confirm that the anti‑roll bar ball joint dust cover and wheel fixing are sound.
