2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · FE59 AFO

The 2009 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 81,469 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 61,050 miles in July 2021, rising to 68,201 by July 2022, 74,364 by July 2023, 78,899 by July 2024, and 81,469 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year across the sequence, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The consistently clean advisories across all five tests imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the car saw light, regular use rather than neglect or hard driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record does not capture gradual deterioration between tests. Low annual mileage often masks standing moisture damage and perished rubber components that a static test bay check may not reveal. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions warrant a hands-on check despite the absence of flagged faults. The clean history suggests no recurring mechanical trend, but at 81,469 miles the original drivetrain mounts and steering joints may show age-related wear not yet at failure threshold.
