2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · RF06 RVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test on 20 September 2025 at 166,623 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a technical failure just one day prior at the same mileage, suggesting a minor rectifyable issue was addressed immediately before the re-test. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates the car is currently being maintained in good mechanical condition regarding legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 7,524 miles, while it recorded 7,490 miles in the subsequent year leading to the September 2025 test. This regularity suggests consistent operational use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brakes or perished rubber components. Given the twenty-year age of the Yaris, the relatively low annual mileage implies that the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to excessive annual stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Toyotas are prone to surface and structural corrosion that MOT tests eventually catch. While the record shows no mechanical failures, the age necessitates a check of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or wear, which degrade regardless of mileage. Examine the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current state of the stopping hardware.
