2009 Toyota Auris 2.0L Diesel · DA58 FKK

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 November 2024 at 76,726 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT results. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2009 vehicle. Between the 20 November 2021 test at 63,868 miles and the 18 November 2024 test at 76,726 miles, the car covered only 12,858 miles across three years, averaging roughly 4,286 miles per year. The DVSA history shows no gaps and no rapid accumulation; each annual test logs a modest yearly increment, with the 2022, 2023, and 2024 entries all passing with zero advisories. A clean MOT ledger with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Low standing mileage, however, can mask perished rubber components and trapped moisture corrosion not visible during a brief road test. The buyer should physically inspect subframe and sill integrity, check for cracking suspension bushes, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding after prolonged idle periods. Given the absence of any recorded faults across the supplied record, no recurring mechanical trend requires correction. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition, as these consumables degrade with age irrespective of the favourable MOT outcomes.
