2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · LC06 LZO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. The most recent test on 30 July 2024 at 149,680 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to secure a clean certificate. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable tolerances despite the vehicle's age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 145,583 miles and the July 2024 test at 149,680 miles, the car covered 4,097 miles over nearly two years. This low usage frequency is generally beneficial for aging components like the drivetrain and suspension, as it reduces the overall wear-and-tear cycles. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the car has been used steadily rather than sitting for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans, as older Yaris models are prone to corrosion over time. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage of nearly 150,000 miles means suspension bushes and coil springs may be nearing the end of their life. Check for signs of fluid leaks or worn shock absorbers, as the record does not detail internal mechanical maintenance. Since the failures in 2023 and 2024 were resolved instantly, they likely involved minor consumable items like light bulbs or wipers that were addressed immediately before the re-test.
