2008 Toyota Auris 2.0L Diesel · GY58 AGU

The most recent MOT test on 24 November 2025 at 97,834 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects or advisories. That matches the passes from December 2024, December 2023, and the October 2022 retest. The maintenance trend is stable, not worsening. The only failure in the record, on 10 October 2022 at 90,118 miles, shows no listed defects, and the car passed the very next day at 90,120 miles. That points to an administrative issue or an aborted test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The mileage pattern shows a lightly used car. At 18 years old, 97,834 miles works out to roughly 5,435 miles per year. The gaps between tests support this: from October 2022 to December 2023 the car covered 3,583 miles, from December 2023 to December 2024 it added 2,331 miles, and from December 2024 to November 2025 it covered just 1,800 miles. Annual testing has been regular with no lapses, so the history is clean and consistent. Because no advisories appear anywhere in the record, there are no recurring faults to track. That said, the low usage can hide age-related deterioration. A buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake pipe routes. Suspension bushes and coil springs are common failure items on a car of this age and can crack or perish even at low mileage. The light annual mileage also raises the risk of binding brake calipers and a seized handbrake mechanism. Check the discs for deep scoring or lipping, and look for uneven pad wear. Exhaust corrosion and weak battery condition are typical of short-trip use. A clean MOT demonstrates the car met the legal standard on those test dates, but it does not guarantee the current condition of wear items like tyres, wiper blades, or the suspension components.
