2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · CK07 AFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent test. The February 2026 inspection at 122,056 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed test on the same day. This pattern of failing and then immediately passing without recorded defects suggests minor, easily rectified issues were addressed between testing attempts. The lack of advisories in the most recent three years of testing indicates a consistent standard of maintenance regarding structural integrity and essential components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. Recording 122,056 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 6,424 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The data shows steady progression from 119,540 miles in February 2024 to 121,928 miles in February 2025, and finally 122,056 miles in February 2026. This incremental increase suggests regular, light-to-moderate use rather than long periods of stationary storage or excessive high-speed motorway transit. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of consumable items that often fall outside the scope of a standard MOT. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components naturally degrade over a 19-year lifespan regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring and inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and exhaust system, which are common areas for age-related degradation. The absence of recurring advisories for tyres or wiper blades in the recent history is a positive indicator of basic upkeep. However, because the vehicle has reached the 120,000-mile threshold, a thorough check of the drive belts and fluid levels is recommended to ensure long-term reliability. The current data suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided the common pitfalls of neglected maintenance.
