2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FM07 LBK

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the August 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 2025-08-26 at 135,468 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, though the pattern of a failed test immediately followed by a pass three days later in both 2024 and 2025 suggests minor pre-test rectifications rather than neglect. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the three-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,130 miles per year against the car's 2007 build date, a typical figure for a 19-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 117,781 miles in August 2023, 124,890 at the August 2024 failure, and 135,374 at the August 2025 failure. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 entries covers only about 10,484 miles, confirming light but consistent use with no standing periods or sudden high-mileage spikes. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence with no defects logged points to administrative or presentation issues at initial testing rather than worn components. The August 2024 failure at 124,890 miles and the August 2025 failure at 135,374 miles both cleared within days with clean passes, implying the owner addressed trivial items such as lamp alignment or number plate legibility between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 135,000-mile total. The MOT data records no structural or mechanical flags, but a 2007 chassis can hide rust in sills and subframes not captured by a pass with no defects. Verify the three-day turnaround rectifications were genuine fixes and not test-centre errors.
