2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FH08 OVL

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 116,599 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every annual examination once minor administrative or presentation issues were resolved. No worsening mechanical faults appear across the three-year record. The mileage shows light use for an 18-year-old car. The record logs 112,878 miles at the 26 September 2023 test, 114,914 miles at the 27 September 2024 test, and 116,599 miles at the 1 October 2025 pass, an average gain of roughly 1,900 miles per year. This low accumulation suggests gentle commuting or prolonged standing periods rather than hard drivetrain wear. The sparse history carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The failed entries on 30 September 2025 and 27 September 2024 both show zero recorded defects, indicating the Auris was rejected for non-mechanical reasons such as documentation or presentation rather than a fault in coil springs, binding calipers, or structural integrity. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard without neglecting consumables to the point of tester concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural points and suspension components, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient rust or worn bushes below failure thresholds. Verify the 2024 and 2025 failures were administrative, and confirm tyre condition and wiper operation despite their absence from the record.
