2007 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · MA07 OXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of passing annual MOT examinations. The most recent test conducted on 27 April 2022 at 119,311 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. While the record shows failures in 2020 and 2022, the immediate passes following these failures suggest the previous owner addressed any identified faults promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,280 miles per year. Between the April 2020 test and the April 2022 test, the car covered 14,558 miles over a two-year period, moving from roughly 104,753 to 119,311 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to seal degradation or brake-related corrosion. However, because the last MOT was recorded over four years ago as of June 2026, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and potentially expired. Given the gap since the last official inspection, a physical assessment must focus on components that age with time regardless of mileage. A buyer should inspect the rubber-based suspension bushes and arm mounts for cracking or tearing, as these become brittle over two decades. The brake system should be checked for pitting or seized calipers, particularly if the car sat stationary during the recent years. Since the record shows no previous structural advisories, a thorough inspection of the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis since the 2022 test.
