2014 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · FG64 MYP

The 2014 Toyota Auris presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 12 April 2025 at 26,638 miles. With zero defects recorded across the entire documented MOT history, the vehicle demonstrates consistent structural and mechanical integrity. The most recent test confirms that all critical systems, from brakes and suspension to steering and exhaust emissions, met the required standard without advisories, indicating meticulous upkeep by the previous keeper. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage, averaging roughly 2,220 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. Between the October 2021 test at 24,519 miles and the April 2025 test at 26,638 miles, the car covered just 2,119 miles over a three-and-a-half-year period. A notable gap exists between the September 2022 test at 24,895 miles and the April 2023 test at 25,096 miles, where only 201 miles were added in roughly seven months, reinforcing the pattern of prolonged stationary periods or very short local trips. Despite the flawless MOT record, the extremely low annual mileage and extended periods of inactivity warrant a focused physical inspection. Short trips and prolonged standing routinely cause brake disc corrosion and binding calipers, even if they passed the roller test. A buyer should closely inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs require checking for deterioration from sitting in a loaded state, while the exhaust system demands scrutiny for internal condensation rust that short-journey running accelerates.
