2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · LD57 AEF

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 70,352 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for a 19 year old car, averaging roughly 3,703 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 66,598 miles and the September 2025 test at 70,352 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,754 miles over three years. Such low usage indicates the car has likely spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, hardened suspension bushes, and brake caliper seizing. Check for any signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers that may not have been flagged during the brief testing cycles. Verify the condition of the tyres and auxiliary belts. Even if the tread remains legal, rubber compounds harden over time, increasing the risk of cracking. Given the lack of recorded advisories since 2021, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper, but a manual check for fluid leaks and battery health is advised due to the limited annual mileage.
