Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension. The 2024 MOT record noted a 'seriously weakened' offside front suspension arm and corrosion on the rear axle and shock absorbers; you should verify that these components were replaced rather than just patched. Negotiate the price based on the current 2026 advisories, specifically the worn offside rear coil spring, which will eventually require replacement.
Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes to support the engine's longevity. Given the age of this 1.6L petrol engine, ensure there are no signs of oil leaks or coolant loss, as these are common age-related issues for vehicles of this vintage.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers reasonable fuel economy for a car of this era, though it will be less efficient than modern equivalents. Insurance groups for the Auris are typically low, and road tax will be based on the vehicle's 2007 CO2 emissions bracket.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific car due to the evidence of corrosion and suspension wear in the MOT history. Budget for upcoming suspension work and potential brake disc replacements, as rear discs were noted as worn in 2024. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and underbody. Specifically, check the offside rear coil spring mentioned in the June 2026 MOT and look for further corrosion on the rear axle and front shock absorber casings, as these were flagged in 2024. Ensure the front suspension arms are firm and show no signs of serious structural corrosion.
Test all external lighting thoroughly. This vehicle has a history of failures and advisories regarding headlamp intensity, defective lenses, and inoperative registration plate lamps. Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and washer system, as these have been repeated points of failure in 2024 and 2025.
This silver 2007 Toyota Auris has covered 123,780 miles, which is below the average for this model. The MOT record shows a pattern of minor failures related to lighting and wipers, alongside more significant concerns regarding suspension wear and corrosion. The vehicle has passed its most recent test, but several advisories remain.
The Toyota Auris generally maintains a strong reputation for reliability, with an average MOT pass rate of 81.3% across analysed vehicles.
