2009 Toyota Auris T3 Stopstart VVT-I 1.3L Petrol · GY09 ABZ

The 2009 Toyota Auris presents a generally stable maintenance record, having passed its most recent inspection in June 2025 with no recorded defects. The vehicle shows a consistent history of passing over the last several years, despite a notable failure in June 2024. This failure suggests a specific mechanical or safety issue was identified and rectified, as the car cleared the subsequent test just a year later. The overall trend indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that allows it to meet annual safety requirements without major regressions. The mileage profile is significantly low for a vehicle of seventeen years age, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain compared to average-run examples, though low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components, bushes, and fluid seals if they sit stationary. The progression from 86,716 miles to 94,089 miles over three years is steady, confirming that the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance commuting recently. A potential buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural and suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for this era of Toyota irrespective of mileage. While the recent tests are clean of advisories, the 2024 failure warrants a look at the specific parts replaced to ensure the repair was thorough. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for corrosion on the underbody and verifying the condition of the brake lines is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental wear.
