2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · GV08 AGU

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 123,153 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,842 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer rose from 94,026 to 113,610 miles. This jump of nearly 20,000 miles in one year indicates a period of heavier use, yet the vehicle passed its 2024 inspection without any recorded defects. The MOT history is unusually clean for a car of this age, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across multiple years. While the lack of flagged issues is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as the DVSA records do not show any historical failures for rust. Given the age and the recent increase in mileage, a physical check of the consumables is advised. Focus on the condition of the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on the same day in both 2023 and 2025, which often indicates minor faults were rectified on-site before the final certificate was issued.
