2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · DA09 AGV

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 136,160 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with four passes and a single failure on 19 December 2025 at 136,157 miles that carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear on any entry, so the record shows no worsening pattern of wear or recurring faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,000 miles against the car's 2009 build, a typical use rate for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show 98,777 miles on 18 November 2022, rising to 106,597 by 11 December 2023, 120,574 by 12 December 2024, and 136,157 by the December 2025 failure. That equates to about 12,000 miles in the final year, a moderate increase over prior periods but not abnormal. The clean sheet across all tests means the data is sparse on faults; the owner clearly kept the car to pass standard each time. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 136,160 miles, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant a ramp check, particularly around sills and subframes where Auris models of this era can trap moisture. The unexplained December 2025 failure with zero defects justifies verifying the VOSA refusal reason with the seller before purchase. Given the absence of recorded advisories, consumables such as tyres and wiper blades may be near replacement despite not being flagged. Confirm service history independently, as the MOT alone cannot evidence routine oil changes or timing chain care on a high-mileage petrol unit.
