2007 Toyota Auris TR VVT-I 1.6L Petrol · JNZ 7689

The 2007 Toyota Auris TR VVT-i presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 16 January 2023 at 122,035 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that point. Prior examinations in March of 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 also passed without fault, showing consistent compliance over a five-year span. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,423 miles per year. The test on 23 March 2018 logged 86,704 miles, rising to 94,123 by 27 March 2019, then 107,300 on 25 March 2021 and 112,493 on 22 March 2022. A gap exists between the March 2019 and March 2021 tests, with no recorded MOT for 2020, though the mileage increase of 13,177 miles across that period remains moderate. The final jump to 122,035 miles by January 2023 adds only 9,542 miles, indicating slowing annual use. The absence of advisories means the tester raised no concerns on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion at any point in the supplied record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody integrity and suspension components, as a clean MOT does not certify absence of age-related rust on a vehicle of this vintage. Verify the 2020 MOT gap does not conceal unrecorded lay-up or intermittent use that may have allowed moisture ingress to brake calipers or exhaust systems. Given the sparse but clean history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance without neglect of consumables or major systems. The low annual mileage and fault-free tests suggest light duty cycles rather than hard fleet use. Physical checks should prioritise tyre sidewall condition, brake binding after standing, and weld seams in the sills given the car's 2007 manufacture date.
