2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · ML57 ABV

The 2007 Toyota Auris holds a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2024‑10‑16 at 108,647 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement; after two consecutive failures in August and October 2023, the vehicle returned to compliance within weeks and has remained fault‑free since. No ongoing deterioration is evident in the latest test. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s life indicates light use. From the August 2023 failure at 104,580 miles to the October 2024 pass at 108,647 miles, only 4,067 miles were added across roughly 13 months—approximately 313 miles per month, below the average 476 miles monthly for a 19‑year‑old car. The history is sparse, with only two test entries in 2023 before a gap until late 2024, suggesting the car has spent extended periods stationary rather than high‑intensity daily running. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake calipers for binding and discs for uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system and chassis for corrosion. The unexplained failures in 2023 merit a close look at steering rack play and any rust around wheel arches or underbody panels. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should also be verified, as low mileage does not guarantee even wear. These checks will confirm whether the vehicle’s structural integrity and mechanical components remain within acceptable limits.
