2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · GY09 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 11 June 2025 at 89,416 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure one day prior at 89,396 miles. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,260 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 82,704 miles and the June 2025 test at 89,416 miles, the car covered 6,712 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity use rather than long periods of high-distance commuting. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake system corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than just mileage. The buyer must check for perished suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and seized brake calipers which often occur over two decades. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is essential as these areas are prone to hidden corrosion on older Toyota models regardless of the low miles driven.
