2006 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · MM55 VWN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following recent failures. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 52,554 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous tests have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of failing and then re-passing, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to keep the car on the road. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,628 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, evidenced by the only 1,357 miles covered between March 2024 and January 2025, and just 1,734 miles covered between January 2025 and December 2025. This low-frequency usage often means less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such long periods of standing can lead to secondary degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal fluid breakdown which are not always captured by mileage alone. A buyer should investigate the specific components that caused the failures in March 2024 and January 2025, as the provided record does not detail the mechanical cause. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a physical inspection of structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches is essential, as moisture often settles in cars that sit stationary. The buyer should also check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common points of failure on Toyotas that undergo long periods without regular use.
