2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FH08 FAO

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 133,632 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the three years of available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The only blemish is administrative rather than mechanical: the car failed on 17 December 2025 and again on 9 December 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, yet the records list no defects on either failure. That pattern points to paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station, not underlying wear. Annual mileage has tracked close to the norm for an 18-year-old vehicle. The record shows 107,903 miles at the 13 December 2023 test, rising to 120,146 by 9 December 2024 and 133,632 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles in the first interval and 13,500 in the second, above the 7,424 per-year average but consistent with regular commuting use rather than neglect or prolonged standing. No gaps exist between tests; the owner kept the annual cycle intact. Given the absence of any flagged advisories across the history, the Auris shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring caution. The twin failure entries with zero defects suggest the previous keeper may have presented the car without valid documentation or with minor non-recorded prep needs, but the clean passes confirm structural integrity and consumable condition met standards on the day. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items the MOT does not measure in depth. Check coil springs, subframe corrosion, and tyre sidewall condition given the 133,632 miles. Verify service history independently, since the double failures hint the keeper cut corners on test readiness even if the car itself passed.
