2014 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · CM10 GCM

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-17 showed the vehicle passed with several recorded defects. Brake pipes on both rear wheels were corroded and covered in grease, a recurring issue seen in earlier MOTs. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and suspension arm bushes on both front wheels showed wear without excessive movement. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for braking systems and suspension components. A prior failure on 2025-09-15 highlighted similar brake pipe corrosion, plus missing road wheel fixings and a parking brake efficiency issue. The failure also noted front tyre wear and suspension bush wear, indicating these problems have persisted across multiple inspections. While the 2024-09-17 MOT was clean, the 2024-09-16 failure revealed significant brake disc wear, thin brake pads, and fluctuating service brakes, pointing to potential neglect or accelerated wear in the preceding year. The pattern of defects shows a consistent focus on brake systems, suspension, and tyres. Brake pipe corrosion, disc wear, and pad thinning appear to be recurring issues, possibly linked to environmental factors or maintenance practices. Suspension bush wear has been noted multiple times, though it has not yet caused excessive movement.
