2015 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FH64 WGC

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components, as evidenced by the August 2025 test at 91,609 miles. While the car passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories including pitted or scored front and rear brake discs, a thin offside rear brake pad, and a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 83,871 miles, suggesting that a period of neglect or deferred maintenance has occurred within the last year. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 33,654 miles in early 2018 to the current 91,609 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished seals often found in low-usage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension. The recurring issues with brake pads and scored discs, dating back to the 2019 and 2020 tests, indicate that the braking components are nearing the end of their service life and may require a full disc and pad replacement. The deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover suggests that other rubber suspension bushes or steering components may also be nearing failure due to age and environmental exposure. Tyre maintenance also requires scrutiny. The record shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing, specifically noted in 2020, 2023, and again in 2025. This suggests the previous owner tended to run consumables to their limit rather than replacing them proactively. A physical inspection should confirm the remaining tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls on all four tyres to ensure they are not cracking or showing signs of age-related perishing.
