2006 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · TC54 ADC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in proactive maintenance following a long period of clean records. While it passed the MOT on 27 April 2026 at 30,695 miles, it had failed just one week prior at 30,643 miles due to critical front brake pads. The transition from three years of zero defects to a failure involving brakes, tyres, and wheel damage suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults upon inspection failure rather than performing preventative servicing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2006-registration, averaging approximately 1,535 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and April 2025, the car covered only 4,574 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary use. However, the jump of 2,388 miles in the final year of the record shows a slight increase in recent activity. This low mileage often leads to secondary issues with rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing tyres noted in the April 2026 test. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for the source of the non-excessive oil leak flagged in the two most recent tests, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dried seals and gaskets due to infrequent operation. The distorted offside rear inner road wheel indicates a past significant impact or curb strike, which warrants a check for alignment issues and potential damage to the rear suspension geometry. Given that both front tyres are at the legal limit and showing signs of age-related cracking, immediate replacement is required to ensure safe grip and handling.
