2009 Toyota Auris TR D-4D 1.4L Diesel · XLZ 6221

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-01 at 110,605 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-27 at 110,443 miles ended in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential procedural or technical issue during the assessment. The prior tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, confirming a generally reliable maintenance history. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident from the record, though the failure in August 2025 warrants scrutiny to confirm the cause. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 85,974 miles recorded in 2022 rising to 110,605 by 2025, averaging 8,895 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the 2022 test and the 2024 retest, during which 14,746 miles were added, suggesting possible irregular maintenance intervals. The final 10,162 miles between 2024 and 2025 were accumulated in 13 months, aligning with typical usage but raising questions about the vehicle’s operational consistency. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, limiting insight into specific wear patterns. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time in vehicles of this age. The absence of brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude a physical check for uneven brake disc wear or caliper binding, which can develop without triggering immediate failures. Structural corrosion should also be assessed, as hidden rust can compromise integrity. While the MOT record shows no critical issues, the August 2025 failure and sparse defect data underscore the need for an independent mechanical evaluation before purchase.
