2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · DA07 YUE

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 98,414 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 July 2025 at 94,354 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive examinations without outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 98,414 against a 2007 build, equating to a low average of roughly 5,180 miles per year. The DVSA entries show sparse but consistent testing: 87,698 miles on 10 January 2023, 93,276 on 9 February 2024, then 94,354 across the June and July 2025 tests, reaching 98,414 in February 2026. The failed test on 27 June 2025 at 94,354 miles carries no defect code and was immediately superseded by a pass on 1 July 2025, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Low annual use implies the car likely stood for periods, which can age rubber components and encourage corrosion even without high wear on drivetrain parts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's nineteen years. Standing time raises the risk of perished seals and subframe rust not captured in a pass with no defects. The clean record offers no recurring advisories to track, but the absence of flagged wear means previous owners kept basic statutory compliance rather than documenting component condition. Verify the 27 June 2025 failure reason at point of sale through the full DVSA certificate, and confirm tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions under cold start. The history shows no worsening pattern, yet low mileage on an older hatchback demands hands-on checks beneath the sills and around the rear axle.
