2015 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FP15 WLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 100,369 miles, it had failed just moments prior due to a failed offside rear stop lamp and worn rear wishbone bushes. This indicates that the previous owner is now addressing faults only after a test failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on the running gear which appears to be degrading across multiple inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between the 71,249 miles recorded in February 2023 and the 91,289 miles in February 2025, followed by another 9,000-mile stretch leading to the February 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat stationary, which explains the gradual wear on rubber-based suspension components and braking components noted in the later records. A buyer must inspect the front and rear suspension systems thoroughly. The record shows a recurring history of worn suspension arm pins and wishbone bushes, dating back to the 2025 test at 91,289 miles and persisting into the 2026 failure. These rubber components are prone to cracking and will affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding the nearside rear brake binding and imbalanced requirements suggests the buyer should verify that the caliper is not seized and that the brake discs have not suffered heat damage from constant friction.
