2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FN08 LCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in condition in the most recent inspection. While the car achieved three consecutive clean passes between 2022 and 2025, the February 2026 test at 59,914 miles identified defects regarding the front tyres. The nearside front tyre was noted to be worn to the legal limit and perishing, while the offside front tyre also showed signs of cracking and perishing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,329 miles per year. The data indicates consistent, low-usage patterns, with the car moving from 50,062 miles in early 2022 to 59,914 miles in early 2026. While low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it also indicates that rubber-based components are subject to age-related degradation rather than friction wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the artwork set, as the most recent failure confirms that perishing and cracking are becoming issues despite the low overall mileage count. Given the age of the vehicle, it is vital to check the condition of all tyres, suspension bushings, and hoses for dry rotting, which often affects low-mileage cars. Additionally, while no structural rust has been flagged yet, a manual check of the underbody for corrosion is necessary to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised the chassis over time.
