AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT test on 2026-04-20 shows a pass with no defects recorded, indicating an improving trend in the vehicle's documented condition. This follows a period of recurring advisories between 2023 and 2025. The record shows that issues previously flagged, specifically regarding brake pipe corrosion and tyre wear, were not present in the latest inspection. The vehicle has covered 89,132 miles over its approximately 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,457 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a gap between the 2021-12-02 test and the 2023-02-22 test, though the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of infrequent use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear brake pipes. The tests on 2024-02-02 and 2025-05-06 both flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, noting they were covered in grease or other material. While the 2026 test reported no defects, the history of corrosion suggests a need to verify that the pipes are structurally sound and free from significant degradation or hidden rust. Tyre maintenance also warrants attention. The records from 2023 and 2024 highlight repeated advisories for front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. The 2024 and 2025 tests also noted damage, cracking, or perishing on the offside rear tyre. Although the latest record is clear, the recurring nature of these consumable issues indicates that tyre replacement intervals should be checked against current tread depths and sidewall integrity. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage petrol hatchback. The recent MOT history is notably clean, showing no defects over the last four recorded tests.

Given the low mileage for a 20-year-old vehicle, you should verify that the service history supports the recorded mileage. Check if there are gaps in maintenance, as vehicles that sit idle for long periods can sometimes face issues with rubber components or fluids.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent cambelt or timing chain inspections, as these are critical for this engine type. While the MOT history is clean, always check for any signs of fluid leaks or suspension wear that might not have triggered an MOT failure yet.

The 1398cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving. Being a 2006 model, tax bands and insurance groups will depend on the specific CO2 emissions and the driver's profile, but this engine size typically falls into a moderate bracket.

Maintenance costs for a Toyota of this era are usually predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and wipers. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.

Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted by aggregate model data, specifically checking the headlamps for clarity and ensuring the engine management light is not active. While this specific vehicle has no recorded failures, you should still inspect the brake pipes for corrosion, as this is a common failure point for this model.

Additionally, check the condition of the blue paintwork for any signs of fading or clear coat failure, and inspect the tyres for uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues. Given the mileage, check the condition of the battery and all rubber hoses.

This 2006 Toyota Corolla features a 1.4L petrol engine and has covered 87,406 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. Compared to the model average of 6,795 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example of this age. The MOT record shows four consecutive passes without any recorded defects, which is a positive indicator of its recent compliance history.

The Toyota Corolla shows a 79.4% average MOT pass rate across 101,576 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving headlamps, engine management lights, and brake pipes.
