2009 Toyota Auris 1.4L Petrol · LS59 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 12 September 2025 at 185,816 miles passed with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was identified and rectified immediately to secure the pass. Since 2024, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories or failures across consecutive inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 7,309 miles, while it covered another 8,421 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brakes or perished rubber components. The total mileage of 185,816 miles is expected for a Toyota this age. While the current record is clean, the recurring failures at 170,086 and 185,816 miles indicate that the vehicle occasionally presents with faults that require immediate attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on high-mileage Auris models. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound, as the MOT only flags structural issues once they reach specific thresholds.
