2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · AF57 LSC

The 2007 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 74,198 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since September 2022. The owner has clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without accruing advisories or repeat failures. Recorded mileage sits at 74,198 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,905 miles per year. The DVSA log shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 58,309 miles in September 2022, 62,820 at the September 2023 tests, 68,336 in September 2024, and 74,198 by September 2025. A failed test on 13 September 2023 at 62,819 miles was followed by an immediate pass at 62,820 miles the same day with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect, though low use invites dormant corrosion and perished rubber. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for hidden rust, as the MOT record cannot confirm structural integrity beneath clean paint. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for binding or uneven wear after long standing periods. Exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be checked for degradation from infrequent movement. Given the absent advisories across five years, no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. The Auris reads as a lightly used, well-kept example whose only risk is age-related deterioration invisible to the tester's lens.
