2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FM08 HGL

The 2008 Toyota Auris presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 30 September 2023 at 112,062 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior examination on 7 May 2022 at 100,156 miles also passed clean. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or failures across the two available entries, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening mechanical condition in the recorded period. The odometer sat at 100,156 miles in May 2022 and rose to 112,062 miles by September 2023, a gain of 11,906 miles over roughly sixteen months. That equates to near 8,900 miles per year, slightly above the 6,226 miles per annum average implied by the age and total mileage. The two-test record is sparse, with a gap of over a year between examinations, but both passes were clean with no advisories logged against tyres, brakes, suspension, or emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The Auris is eighteen years old and Toyota chassis of this era are prone to underbody corrosion and degraded suspension bushes if exposed to road salt. The absence of advisories means the tester saw no immediate risk, yet a 112,000-mile vehicle will carry worn consumables the MOT may not flag until failure. Check the front coil springs, brake disc thickness, and exhaust integrity on the ramp. Verify the service history matches the low annual use, since standing periods can seize calipers or rot brake lines. The recorded care suggests a conscientious keeper, but the sparse MOT data leaves structural condition unproven beyond the two test dates.
