2007 Toyota Auris 2.2L Diesel · CV07 YLM

The 2007 Toyota Auris presents a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean MOT record devoid of defects or advisories. The most recent test on 2 October 2023 at 118,107 miles passed without any recorded issues, mirroring the outcome of the October 2022 test at 113,910 miles. This pattern indicates consistent mechanical compliance over the documented period. However, the vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the 2023 certificate expired in October 2025, leaving its present roadworthiness unverified for nearly three years. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,216 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this vintage. Between the October 2021 test at 102,792 miles and the October 2022 test at 113,910 miles, the car covered 11,118 miles, suggesting regular use during that period. The subsequent year saw a reduction in usage, with only 4,197 miles added between October 2022 and October 2023. The recorded history is sparse but entirely clean, showing no anomalies in the odometer readings or sudden jumps that might indicate rolling back or prolonged inactivity. Given the absence of recurring faults in the DVSA record, a buyer should focus on standard age-related deterioration rather than specific historical failures. A thorough in-person inspection must assess the condition of consumables and structural integrity. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, and inspect the exhaust system for leaks or mounting deterioration. Structural rust remains a primary concern for a 19-year-old vehicle; scrutinise the sills, wheel arches, and subframes for corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. Since the MOT has lapsed, verifying the current condition of the tyres, wiper blades, and lighting is essential before any road use.
