2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FM08 HFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 December 2025 at 30,811 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that any previous minor issues have been addressed. This trend of clean passes over the last two years suggests the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard despite its low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low at 30,811 miles for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. Data between December 2021 and December 2025 shows the car covered only 2,603 miles in four years. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent operation increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber and plastic components due to time rather than friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension, as the December 2023 test at 29,463 miles flagged perishing on the offside rear, nearside rear, and nearside front tyres. Although these were replaced given the subsequent passes, low mileage often leads to dry rot and cracking in sidewalls before tread depth becomes an. The inspector should also check for brake corrosion and seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods frequently suffer from surface rust on the discs and sticking brake pins.
