2015 Toyota Auris 1.6L Diesel · NJ65 WMX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend following a single mechanical failure. The most recent test in September 2025 at 17,662 miles resulted in a pass without advisories, continuing a streak of three clean passes since the 2022 failure. This suggests that once the initial issue was addressed, the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies regulatory requirements over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered only 4,347 miles, indicating it is likely used sporadically or stored for extended periods. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and flat-spotting on tyres, which are not always captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite low mileage. The 2022 failure due to an offside front tyre bulge indicates structural tyre damage, likely from an impact or age-related dry rot, so the current condition of all four tyres must be verified for cracking. Given the low usage, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as calipers can often seize when not used frequently enough. The consistent presence of the undertray and engine cover across all records suggests the lower mechanical components have been well protected from road debris and moisture.
