2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · GY09 ACX

This Toyota Auris demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT. The latest test on 3 October 2025 at 127,845 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained or one that has avoided common age-related degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 17-year age, averaging roughly 7,520 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase of 8,624 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by a further 8,644 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic gaps in the history or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of any advisories over the last five years is rare for a vehicle of this vintage. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness across any of the recorded tests. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which often plague older hatchbacks. This clean record implies the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance rather than reacting only to MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on consumables that the MOT may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the wiper blades. Given the mileage of 127,845, a buyer should verify the service history for timing chain or belt intervals and oil change frequency, as the MOT record confirms roadworthiness but does not document internal engine health or transmission fluid changes.
