2010 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · FD10 NCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglect regarding minor consumables and lighting. The most recent test in June 2026 at 103,783 miles resulted in a pass following a failure due to an inoperative rear number lamp and perished tyres across all four wheels. While the car consistently passes its annual inspections, the recurring nature of these defects suggests an owner who only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of sixteen years age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental progression, moving from 66,956 miles in 2015 to 103,783 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it explains the age-related degradation of rubber parts, as seen in the repeated failures for perishing tyres and ineffective wipers over the last decade despite the low tread depth remaining. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of all rubber components, as the tester has repeatedly flagged cracking and perishing since 2019, indicating the tyres are likely age-limited rather than mileage limited. The 2022 record noted thin brake pads on both axles and corrosion on a rear brake hose ferrule necessitates a thorough physical check of the braking system to ensure no further degradation or seizing has occurred. Additionally, the history of inoperative registration lamps and failed wipers suggests a full electrical check and wiper motor inspection are required to ensure all auxiliary equipment is fully functional.
