2015 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · JUI 8886

The vehicle maintains a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 29 August 2025 at 131,416 miles, leaving the last test ten months prior to today. The maintenance trend remains strictly stable across five consecutive inspections, with each entry clearing without primary faults, secondary advisories, or dangerous defects. This uninterrupted passing record indicates disciplined upkeep rather than reactive patching, and the tester never identified binding calipers, degraded suspension bushes, or structural corrosion during this timeframe. The odometer reading of 131,416 miles places the average annual distance at approximately 11,900 miles, which aligns with typical private usage for an eleven-year-old car. Testing intervals reveal a concentrated driving period between February 2021 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered 28,341 miles over thirteen months before settling into a consistent twelve-month cycle. The complete absence of recorded defects across all entries means the previous keeper addressed tyre tread, wiper blades, and bulb replacements promptly, preventing minor consumable wear from escalating into major mechanical or structural risks. You should still verify the physical condition of components that rarely trigger immediate MOT failures. Measure front brake disc runout and pad thickness, as the tester only records these once they breach statutory limits. Check the rear suspension arms and coil spring seats for subtle rubber deterioration or axle nut security, which often develop gradually between annual inspections. Examine the exhaust heat shields for loose fixings and probe the undercarriage weld seams along the trailing arm mounts for early salt pitting. Cross-reference the official MOT log with available service invoices to confirm that engine oil changes and timing component inspections occurred at manufacturer-specified intervals.
