2010 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FE10 ABK

The 2010 Toyota Auris is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 17 January 2026 recorded a pass at 151 923 miles with no defects. The preceding test on 12 March 2025 also passed cleanly at 140 001 miles, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend after a series of minor failures in the mid‑2010s. The absence of any advisories in the last two years suggests that basic upkeep has been maintained consistently. Mileage accumulation shows a typical average of roughly 9 500 miles per year, but the recent annual figures rise to about 14 000 miles between March 2025 and January 2026, reflecting increased usage. The period from March 2021 to March 2020 saw only 1 441 miles, hinting at a possible storage phase. Overall the vehicle’s mileage pattern is variable, with no abrupt gaps that would raise concerns about hidden wear. A buyer should inspect the brake system closely; the 2020 test flagged front brake discs worn and pitted, and the 2015 entry noted rear pads wearing thin. Check disc thickness, surface condition and pad wear to confirm they have not deteriorated further. Examine all lighting circuits, particularly the registration plate lamp (failed in 2019) and the offside side repeater (failed in 2016), as well as the offside rear position lamp noted in 2018. Tyre tread depth on the front tyres should be verified against the 1.6 mm legal minimum, given the 2018 failure. Finally, look for corrosion on the front registration plate area and any rust spots on the chassis or suspension mounts, as these components have shown deterioration in past tests.
