Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the most recent MOT failure. While the vehicle has several clean passes, the failure at 131,636 miles requires immediate investigation before purchase.
Your primary focus should be on the cause of the failure recorded on 11 April 2026 at 131,636 miles. Since the MOT record shows 'no defects recorded' for that specific failure entry, you must ask the seller for the specific reason the vehicle failed and whether a subsequent retest was successful.
Given the age and mileage of this 2007 model, check for service history that covers major intervals. Specifically, look for evidence of suspension maintenance, as coil springs are a known failure point for this model type across the wider fleet. Ensure all consumables, such as brake pads and wipers, have been addressed recently, as these are common MOT failure points for the Auris.
The 1598cc petrol engine is generally efficient for a non-hybrid hatchback of this era, though running costs will be dictated by its high mileage. Expect typical insurance groups for a 2007 Toyota, which are often moderate, making it accessible for various driver profiles.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular wear-and-tear items. Given the aggregate data for this model, you should anticipate periodic replacement of brake pads and suspension components like coil springs. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a petrol hatchback of this age.
You must inspect the vehicle specifically for the reason behind the April 2026 MOT failure. Even though the summary record doesn't list the defect, the vehicle did not pass the test at 131,636 miles, so documentation of the repair is essential.
Beyond the recent failure, pay close attention to the underside and suspension. Aggregate data for the Toyota Auris indicates that coil springs and brake pads are frequent failure points. Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the braking system, as these are common issues identified in the wider model data.
This 2007 grey Toyota Auris with the 1.6L petrol engine has covered 131,636 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,246 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of clean passes and failures, including a recent failure in April 2026. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing frequency, the high mileage and recent failure necessitate a thorough mechanical check.
The Toyota Auris has an average MOT pass rate of 81.3% across the 157,119 vehicles analysed, with common failures related to brakes, wipers, and coil springs.
