2014 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · FL64 OJB

This Toyota Auris has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-23 confirming no defects at 96,472 miles. The sole failure in February 2026—just two days before passing—was an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were recorded. The consistent pass rates since 2023 suggest the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear. The final test date of February 2026 means the current MOT expires in May 2026, leaving approximately three months of legal roadworthiness remaining. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,000 miles annually. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests, with the most recent interval—from 89,887 miles in February 2025 to 96,472 miles in February 2026—covering just 6,585 miles in a year. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, however, spans 9,693 miles over eleven months, which could imply either seasonal storage or reduced mileage during that period. No significant red flags emerge from the mileage pattern, but the absence of service records means potential hidden wear cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or uneven wear might develop over 96,000 miles. Brake discs and pads should be checked for thickness and corrosion, as repeated braking cycles could have caused uneven wear despite no MOT failures. Structural integrity is less concerning given the lack of advisories, but a thorough examination of wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion—especially in the UK climate—is advisable. The engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks or degraded hoses, as these are common silent failures in vehicles of this age.
