2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · GY09 VMP

The 2009 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 122,770 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual certificates since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet minimum legal standards during this period. Recorded mileage sits at 122,770 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 7,222 miles per year and matching typical use for a car of this type. The records show steady annual accumulation: 107,975 miles on 20 May 2022, 113,776 on 5 June 2023, 119,210 on 31 May 2024, and 122,770 on 6 June 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test logged on 31 May 2024 at 119,205 miles, retested later the same day at 119,210 miles with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across four successive passes implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each test or the car simply wore lightly. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion does not guarantee those items are sound at 122,770 miles. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity underneath for rust, check the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, and confirm the braking system shows no signs of binding calipers or degraded pads. Given the sparse but unbroken record, the Auris reflects a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint. Physical inspection remains essential to verify the unseen components the MOT does not grade, particularly at this mileage where dampers and exhaust emissions hardware may be nearing natural end of life.
