2006 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · SD06 CXG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of clean passes in recent years. The most recent test on 27 August 2022 at 94,379 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any mechanical issues identified during that inspection were rectified immediately, and the car has maintained a high standard of mechanical compliance over the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per annum. The record shows a gap of 10,290 miles between August 2020 and August 2021, and another 11,507 miles between August 2021 and August 2022. While this low usage generally indicates less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, oxidisation of brake components, and drying of fluid-based systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Toyotas of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the clean MOT history, the primary concerns are checking the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or leaks, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-mileage use often results in surface rust if the brakes are not used frequently.
