2009 Toyota Auris 2.2L Diesel · GY59 CXA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension-related corrosion. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 152,452 miles, the tester identified multiple points of structural degradation including both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms. While the car passed, the progression from minor corrosion to a worn offside front inner suspension arm bush and a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage suggests that the underbody components are reaching the end of their operational life due to age. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 152,452 miles represents a consistent annual average of approximately 9,000 miles. The data shows a steady rate of use between tests, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between August 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,380 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing, which explains the perishing of rubber components and the accumulation of rust noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lower suspension geometry and braking system. The recurring corrosion on the rear coil springs and suspension arms, noted since at least 2022, indicates that the structural integrity of the rear assembly is under constant threat. Particular attention should be paid to the front CV boots, as the history shows grease leaks persisting from 2023 through 2024. Given that the front brake discs and pads were already flagged as thin in 2022, the current state of the friction material must be verified to ensure they have not since reached the minimum limit.
