Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the vehicle's underbody and braking system. The MOT history repeatedly flags corroded brake pipes and coil springs; you should verify if these have been replaced or merely treated. Ensure the fuel system leak identified in early 2024 was professionally repaired and that no further seepage is present.
Negotiate based on the immediate maintenance required. The most recent MOT in April 2026 highlighted worn front tyres and pitted brake discs, meaning these consumables will likely need replacing shortly after purchase. Request a full service history to see if the recurring corrosion advisories have been addressed through preventative maintenance.
The 1398cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and typically offers low insurance premiums. Tax will be based on the 2008 emissions bracket for this engine size.
While routine servicing for a Toyota is generally straightforward, this specific vehicle may incur higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the evident corrosion. Replacing brake pipes, coil springs, and addressing axle wear can add significant costs beyond standard oil and filter changes. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a typical Auris of this age.
A thorough underbody inspection is essential. Specifically, check the rear brake pipes and fuel lines for the corrosion noted in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. Inspect the coil springs for heavy rust and examine the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, which were flagged as worn in the April 2026 test.
Check the condition of the front tyres and both front and rear brake discs, as the latest MOT record indicates they are worn, pitted, or scored. Finally, check the registration plate for deterioration, as this was a recurring point in the 2024 records.
This 2008 grey Toyota Auris has recorded 85,393 miles, which is significantly below the model's average annual mileage. However, the MOT history from 2023 to 2026 shows a consistent pattern of corrosion affecting brake pipes, coil springs, and the rear axle. A failure in January 2024 was specifically caused by a leaking fuel vent hose, alongside other chassis-related advisories.
The Auris has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 81.3%, though coil springs are identified as a top failure reason across the model range.
