2015 Toyota Auris 1.6L Diesel · DG65 SXP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward mechanical and component wear. While the car passed its September 2025 test at 65,277 miles, it accumulated multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean sheet in October 2024 to a list of defects in 2025 suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life cycles rather than mileage. At 11 years old, the recorded 65,277 miles represent low annual usage, averaging 6,000 miles per year. This low mileage pattern often explains the presence of corrosion and rubber degradation, as vehicles sit stationary for longer periods. The mileage gap between the October 2024 test at 60,579 miles and the September 2025 test at 65,277 miles indicates a consistent but light driving habit, yet the recent failures highlight that age has not prevented environmental-related wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 record flagged pitted front and rear brake discs, as well as worn wishbone bushes and corroded rear coil springs. While these did not cause a failure, the pitting on the discs indicates surface rust from low use, which can accelerate brake pad wear. The buyer should verify the structural integrity of the coil springs to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a fracture, which would lead to an immediate MOT failure.
