2018 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · DP67 NGN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 24 June 2026 at 60,281 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test resulted in a clean pass, the vehicle failed just days prior on 24 June 2026 due to both front tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal limit. This pattern of failing on consumable items suggests the previous owner addressed defects only when required to pass the annual inspection. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 30,683 miles in February 2024 to 45,355 miles in March 2025, and finally 60,281 miles in June 2026. This incremental increase indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The March 2025 failure at 45,355 miles was significant, involving worn front brake pads, worn rear pads, and significantly worn front brake discs. Although the vehicle passed in 2026, the history of brake wear combined with the recent tyre failures suggests that consumables are reaching the end of their service life. I recommend checking the remaining thickness of the brake pads and inspecting the discs for scoring or thinning. The repeated issues with windscreen wipers in March 2025 and the tyre tread depth failures in both 2025 and 2026 indicate a tendency to defer basic maintenance. While no structural corrosion or suspension defects have appeared in the recorded history, the buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and the wiper blades to ensure they are not nearing the next failure threshold.
