Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. While
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on the rear subframe mounting and fuel pipes, as well as corroded rear coil springs; you should determine if these have been treated or if they are nearing a point of failure. The persistent 'oil leak' noted in 2024, 2025, and 2026 should be investigated to identify the source and cost of repair.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for tyre replacements and brake disc attention, as the June 2026 test noted worn and pitted discs. Additionally, request evidence of how the 2025 Engine Management Light (MIL) failure was resolved, as this indicates a previous electronic or emissions-related fault.
The 1296cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, and the Yaris typically sits in a low insurance group. However, the maintenance costs for this specific vehicle are likely to be higher than average due to the recurring issues with CV boots, suspension components, and corrosion noted in the MOT records.
Annual costs will include standard road tax and fuel, but a budget for remedial corrosion work and suspension repairs is essential. Expect higher-than-normal spending on consumables given the recent advisories for tyres and brake discs.
Focus your inspection on the chassis and suspension. Specifically, check the rear subframe and fuel pipes for the corrosion mentioned in the MOT history, and examine the rear coil springs for heavy rusting. The offside front CV boot was noted as severely deteriorated in June 2026, so check if this has been replaced or if the joint is now compromised.
Check the braking system for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the most recent test. Finally, inspect the engine bay for signs of the persistent oil leak that has appeared on the MOT record for three consecutive years.
This 2006 Toyota Yaris has recorded 131,433 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of oil leaks, subframe corrosion, and suspension wear, including a failure for a worn suspension arm ball joint in June 2026. Although it passed its most recent test, the volume of remaining advisories suggests a vehicle with significant age-related deterioration.
The Yaris has a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9%, though this individual vehicle shows more wear than the model average.
