2010 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · GD10 DZE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend over the last six years. The most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 89,092 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results seen in the 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests. This consistency suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern indicates light usage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The data shows steady, incremental growth, such as the 6,125-mile increase between February 2024 and February 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to component degradation from inactivity. The record shows a slight gap in testing between July 2017 and May 2018, but the mileage progression remains consistent with a low-use commuter or local runabout. Historical data highlights specific areas for physical inspection. The 2020 test flagged a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorber, which required replacement to secure a pass. Earlier records from April 2019 showed wear on both front and rear brake discs, alongside deteriorating wiper blades and minor bodywork damage to the nearside front bumper. Although these issues were resolved, a buyer should inspect the current condition of the braking system and the integrity of the suspension components to ensure no new leaks or excessive play have developed. The presence of broken headlamp brackets and a broken exhaust centre pipe bracket in 2016 and 2019 suggests minor impact or vibration-related wear in the past. While the recent years show no such faults, checking the security of all light housings and the exhaust mounting system is a sensible precaution. Overall, the transition from several failures between 2017 and 2020 to a continuous streak of clean passes indicates an improving maintenance regime.
