2014 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FE64 EPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service history. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 110,922 miles passed, it returned with multiple advisories regarding thin front brake pads and perishing on both rear tyres. This follows a failure in August 2023 where the rear brake pads had reached the wear indicators, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they fail an inspection. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 9,000 miles driven between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 7,300 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components, despite the noted wear on consumables over time. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with pads across both axles between 2023 and 2025. The tester flagged the nearside rear tyre for uneven wear in 2023, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The recent advisory for perishing tyres in 2025 suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure safety. Check the undercarriage for cracks in the control arm bushings to ensure the age-related rubber components have not degraded beyond what the MOT tester typically identifies.
