2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · MA57 HGE

This Toyota Auris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 82,872 miles was a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from the previous two years, indicating a vehicle that is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and emissions requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,362 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 3,340 miles added between August 2022 and August 2023, and 2,338 miles added between August 2024 and July 2025. Such low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded failures or advisories across the last four years. A failure on 25 August 2023 was resolved on the same day, though the record does not specify the defect. The absence of recurring flags for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks suggests a well-preserved chassis and drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber perishables, such as tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings, should be checked for dry rot or cracking. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to verify the service history for regular oil changes to ensure the engine has not suffered from sludge buildup due to infrequent use.
