2008 Toyota Auris 2.0L Diesel · FH08 SYE

The Toyota Auris passed its most recent MOT on 22 February 2022 at 156,005 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply unevaluated beyond that single clean result. The four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026 means the vehicle has no verified roadworthiness evidence for the intervening period. A buyer must treat the current status as unknown rather than assured by that pass. At 156,005 miles over roughly 18 years the Auris shows an average annual use of about 8,667 miles, which sits within typical bounds for a 2008 hatchback and implies steady rather than abusive private use. The sole MOT entry on 22 February 2022 gives no mileage progression or prior-year comparison, so we cannot detect rapid accumulation or long standing periods from the record itself. The clean sheet at that test with no advisories suggests the previous owner addressed consumables and mechanical items to test standard before presentation. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion in February 2022, the Auris avoided the common fatigue points seen on high-mileage Japanese hatchbacks of this era. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as a four-year lapse since testing permits significant unseen deterioration. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps, since 156,005 miles recorded in 2022 with no later test leaves the true current mileage unconfirmed.
