Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the recent failure in January 2025, any potential buyer must verify that all listed defects—specifically the steering rack inner joints, the corroded brake pipes, and the weakened rear brake disc—have been professionally repaired and signed off. Do not rely on the 'Passed' status alone; ensure you see physical evidence of these specific repairs.
Negotiation should be heavily influenced by the documented underbody corrosion noted in October 2024 and September 2024. You should also request a detailed service history to see if the high mileage has been matched by regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1998cc diesel engine. Check if the recent steering rack replacement mentioned in the 2025 MOT was a complete unit or a partial repair.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this Auris will likely sit in a mid-to-high insurance group for its age and will be subject to specific taxation based on its CO2 emissions. While diesel engines of this era are generally capable of decent motorway fuel economy, the high mileage suggests it has been used for long-distance driving.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recurring issues with consumables like brake pads and tyres, as well as more significant mechanical components like the steering rack and exhaust system. Expect higher-than-average maintenance spending in the short term to address the recent list of MOT failures.
A thorough underside inspection is mandatory. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of 'underbody corrosion all over' and 'corroded brake pipes'. Use a torch to check the integrity of the chassis and the condition of all fuel and brake lines.
Secondly, test the steering carefully. The 2025 MOT recorded excessive free play and issues with the steering rack inner joints. Ensure the steering feels tight and does not wander. Finally, inspect the braking system; the history shows a pattern of worn pads, binding brakes, and a 'seriously weakened' rear brake disc, so check for any pulsation or pulling when braking.
This 2009 silver Toyota Auris 2.0 D-4D has covered 128,659 miles, which is notably higher than the model average of 8,240 miles per year. While the vehicle is a diesel variant, the MOT record indicates significant maintenance requirements, including recent failures for steering rack play, brake pipe corrosion, and structural underbody corrosion. The vehicle has a pattern of multiple failures in single tests, most recently in January 2025.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.3% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to brake pads and springs.
