Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus your attention on the vehicle's underside. Given the repeated coil spring failures on both the nearside (2023) and offside (2024), you should verify if the remaining suspension components have been inspected or replaced. Look for detailed service records that go beyond the basic MOT requirements to see how the vehicle has been managed over its 132,010 miles.
Use the ongoing corrosion advisories regarding the rear suspension mounting areas as a point for price negotiation. While not currently considered 'excessive' by MOT standards, corrosion in these areas can progress and may lead to more costly structural repairs in the future.
The 1296cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. Being a 2006 model, it will fall into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size, and it generally sits in a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
However, maintenance costs are likely to increase due to the vehicle's age and mileage. You should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brakes, as well as the potential need to address the corrosion noted in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are approximately £900-£1,200.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear axle and suspension mounting areas. The MOT records from December 2024 and December 2025 specifically mention corrosion in these areas, so a professional check is recommended to determine the extent of the rust.
Additionally, examine the front suspension and drive shafts. The vehicle failed its 2023 MOT due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and a severely deteriorated CV boot, and failed its 2024 MOT due to a fractured offside front coil spring. Ensure that these repairs were carried out to a high standard and check for any current leaks or noises from the front axle.
This silver 2006 Toyota Yaris has recorded 132,010 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of suspension issues, including fractured coil springs in both 2023 and 2024. Most notably, the two most recent MOT tests (2024 and 2025) both highlight corrosion around the rear axle and suspension mounting areas.
Based on aggregate data from 470,762 vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
