2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · CX08 PVL

The 2008 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 80,199 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 2 September 2022 pass at 71,914 miles. The DVSA record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the last four annual tests, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the statutory roadworthiness threshold each time. The odometer sat at 74,524 miles for the 15 August 2023 test, rose to 77,363 miles by 16 August 2024, and reached 80,199 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 2,800 miles per year over this period, well below the 4,456 miles per annum average for its age. The sparse, defect-free history gives little to interrogate, though the 16 August 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as an 18-year-old vehicle with long standing periods is prone to perishing rubber and surface rust not always caught in a pass result. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no binding or imbalance being flagged. Verify the 2024 dual entry with the seller's paperwork to confirm no concealed rectification work occurred between the fail and pass logs.
