2008 Toyota Auris 2.0L Diesel · GP08 LOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 3 May 2025 at 71,233 miles passed without any recorded defects. Over the four successive annual tests the absence of advisories indicates a stable maintenance record, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring failures. Mileage has remained modest for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 3,900 miles per year. Between 24 May 2022 (48,595 miles) and 11 May 2023 (50,487 miles) the car added 1,892 miles, and a further 1,800 miles were logged by the 28 May 2024 test (52,287 miles). The jump to 71,233 miles by the 3 May 2025 test represents a 19,000‑mile increase in twelve months, suggesting a period of intensified use after a long low‑mileage phase. Apart from that surge, the record is clean and evenly spaced, implying regular servicing and no major gaps in MOT coverage. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear‑related items that the MOT does not flag. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as the recent mileage surge may have accelerated wear. Examine suspension bushings, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or corrosion, particularly around the rear axle where increased loading is common. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that the brake calipers move freely without binding. Finally, conduct a visual assessment of the chassis for rust or structural compromise, especially in wheel arches and under‑body panels, to ensure the vehicle’s long‑term integrity.
