2014 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · AE64 WFF

The 2014 Toyota Auris demonstrates a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 55,333 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. This unblemished record over the last three consecutive annual tests suggests a diligent approach to preventative upkeep by the current keeper. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting light usage of roughly 4,600 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 45,176 miles and the August 2024 test at 50,483 miles, the car covered 5,307 miles, maintaining a consistent annual pattern. A slight anomaly exists in September 2022, where the vehicle failed its test on the 17th at 39,969 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed. It passed three days later on 20 September at 40,009 miles, suggesting either an administrative error during the initial test or an immediate rectification of a minor issue that went unrecorded in the final failure report. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged standing. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes. The braking system requires particular scrutiny; low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and corroded brake discs due to a lack of regular heat cycling. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked for deterioration, as short, infrequent journeys accelerate wear on these rubber components.
