Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. While the Toyota Auris is known for mechanical robustness, this specific grey 2007 model shows clear signs of age-related neglect and advancing structural corrosion.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and subframes. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on both the front and rear subframe mountings, as well as general structural corrosion. You should negotiate the price down significantly to account for the likely need for welding or professional rust treatment in the near future.
Check the service history for evidence of brake system maintenance, as the vehicle has failed previously for leaking brake hoses and poor parking brake efficiency. Ensure all current tyres are in good condition, as the May 2026 test flagged damaged and perishing rubber on the nearside front and a deep cut on the nearside rear.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of reliability and reasonable fuel economy for a city car, though it will be less efficient than modern hybrids. Being a 2007 model, it falls into an older tax bracket based on CO2 emissions, and insurance is typically affordable as the Auris is seen as a low-risk vehicle.
Maintenance costs for this specific car are likely to be higher than average. With recurring issues involving coil springs, exhaust leaks, and corrosion, you should budget for more frequent repairs than you would with a lower-mileage example of this model.
Focus heavily on the underside of the car. The MOT history from 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently flags corrosion on the front and rear subframe mountings and general vehicle structure. Use a torch to inspect these areas for flaking metal or 'patch' repairs that may be hiding deeper rust.
Inspect the suspension and braking components. The vehicle has a history of corroded coil springs (flagged in 2025 and 2026) and a previous failure for a leaking brake hose. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the brakes and ensure the parking brake holds the vehicle firmly on a slope.
This 1.6L petrol Auris has covered 118,554 miles and possesses a concerning MOT history. Recent tests highlight a pattern of multiple failures, including critical issues with braking systems, tyre integrity, and widespread corrosion. While it has recently passed, the recurring 'advisories' regarding subframe and structural corrosion suggest a vehicle reaching the end of its economical life.
The Toyota Auris typically enjoys a strong reputation for engine and gearbox longevity, though older petrol models can suffer from chassis rust in the UK climate.
