2007 Toyota Auris T3 D-4D 1.4L Diesel · FH57 BCX

The most recent MOT (4 December 2022) was a clean pass at 193,726 mi with no defects recorded. The earlier tests in 2021 and 2019 also passed without any noted issues, and the only failure on the record (21 November 2019) did not list any specific defects. This suggests that, if a fault was identified, it was remedied before the next test. Across the five entries the pattern is essentially stable – the vehicle has consistently met the MOT criteria and there is no evidence of a worsening defect trend. The lone failure does not appear to have left a lasting problem, given the subsequent clean pass. At 19 years old the mileage of 193,726 mi works out to roughly 10,200 mi per year, which is within the normal range for a car of this age. The figure does not point to extreme abuse, but it does indicate a fair amount of wear on consumable components such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and the drivetrain. Because the mileage figure alone cannot distinguish between steady use and long periods of inactivity, the wear level should be verified on inspection. What to check first - Inspect the brakes (pads, discs and any rust on the rotors) and confirm the condition of the tyres for tread depth and uneven wear. - Look at the suspension – check for any knocking, sagging or leaking shock absorbers and worn bushings.
