Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a predictable petrol hatchback. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, suggesting a stable recent period for this silver 1.6L AURIS.
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol model, verify that the recent MOT passes reflect actual mechanical health, as the records show no defects in the most recent 2025 test. Given the model's aggregate data, you should check the condition of the brake pads and windscreen wipers, as these are common failure points for the AURIS range.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which sits above the typical annual average for this model. Ask the seller for evidence of any maintenance performed between the 2023 and 2025 MOT tests to ensure the vehicle has been kept in line with manufacturer recommendations.
Running this 1598cc petrol engine is generally cost-effective. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized hatchback from the late 2000s. Tax bands for this era of AURIS are usually mid-range, and insurance groups for the 1.6L variant are typically manageable for most drivers.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like coil springs and brake components. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking components. Aggregate data for this model highlights coil springs and brake pads as frequent MOT failure reasons, so listen for knocks from the suspension during a test drive and check the thickness of the brake pads.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the overall state of the silver paintwork for any signs of age-related wear. While the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, a physical check of the wiper blades and washer system is advised given the model's history.
This 2007 Toyota AURIS (EO57CTE) has covered 106,576 miles as of its last MOT in March 2025. While the vehicle has seen two MOT failures in recent years, these were resolved to achieve subsequent passes with no defects recorded. The mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 8,275 per year, but the consistent testing frequency provides a clear paper trail.
The Toyota AURIS shows a robust aggregate MOT pass rate of 81.3% across the 157,099 vehicles analysed.
