TOYOTA AURIS2014 · 1.6L Petrol

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 23 July 2025 at 31,586 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history remains stable, showing no mechanical or structural advisories. The preceding day, on 22 July 2025, the same mileage entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, an irregularity pointing to an administrative rejection rather than a fault-based mechanical failure. Annual mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record traces 21,956 miles at the 15 July 2022 test, rising to 25,210 miles on 25 July 2023, 28,727 miles on 24 July 2024, and 31,586 miles on 23 July 2025. That equates to roughly 2,800 to 3,500 miles added each year, a consistent light-use pattern with no abrupt accumulation or gaps in testing. Such low yearly coverage suggests gentle commuting or prolonged periods off the road, yet the clean test outcomes imply the previous keeper kept statutory inspections current. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low usage, as standing time can accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion unseen during a brief MOT. The absence of recorded advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or binding calipers does not preclude hidden rust in sills or subframes. Verify the anomalous July 2025 fail paperwork to confirm no omitted defect category.
