2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · PY56 ATU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 60,440 miles. This test was completed without any defects or advisories. While the car failed its tests on 9 May 2025 and 3 April 2024, the records show no specific defects listed for these failures, suggesting the issues were minor or rectified immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,022 miles per year. A notable jump in usage occurred between 18 May 2024 and 12 May 2025, where the odometer rose from 47,837 to 60,440 miles. This indicates the car covered over 12,000 miles in a single year, a significant increase compared to the 3,660 miles added between November 2022 and May 2024. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, as these are common on cars that stand for long periods. The rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for perishing or cracking despite the low tread wear. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough inspection for corrosion is necessary. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded advisories for structural integrity or exhaust leaks over several years. This lack of data means the buyer must manually verify the condition of the underbody and sills to ensure no rust has been overlooked.
