2011 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · FL11 KHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 81,189 miles passed, it followed a failure due to thin rear brake pads, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and a corroded offside front disc back plate. This mirrors a pattern seen in April 2025 where the car failed on multiple brake components and tyre-related issues before passing a retest. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 81,189 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. However, the data shows a recent surge in usage with 10,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,000 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal parts, which likely explains the structural corrosion on the disc back plate noted in the records. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with thin pads and worn discs across axles. The repeated mention of tracking issues in 2025 suggests potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes, which have caused the uneven tyre wear noted during that period. You should also check the chassis for structural rust and inspect the brake calipers, as the low-mileage history often masks age-related decay of components that have seized or degraded despite the lack of use.
