2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · GY09 AAU

This Toyota Auris presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 6 December 2025 at 68,276 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,016 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2022 test at 50,637 miles and the December 2025 test at 68,276 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,800 miles per annum over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or significant periods of abandonment. A single failure occurred on 2 December 2023 at 54,281 miles, though the record shows no specific defects, and the car passed a week later at 54,316 miles. This suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over several years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, glazed brake discs, or tyre cracking due to age rather than wear. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record provides no evidence of structural rust, but these areas require manual verification on a seventeen year old chassis.
