2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · NL58 AFJ

This Toyota Auris demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 115,364 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,409 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between August 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer rose from 103,196 to 115,364 miles. This jump of 12,168 miles in a single year is the highest recorded interval in the provided history, yet the vehicle still passed its latest inspection without a single advisory. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories over the last four years is unusual for a car of this vintage. The record shows a failure on 22 August 2023 at 97,445 miles, though the data lists no specific defects for that failure, and the car passed 15 miles later on the same day. This suggests a minor administrative error or a very quick rectification of a trivial fault. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. While the records are clean, the age of the vehicle means rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts may be perishing regardless of the MOT outcome. Checking for oil leaks and verifying the service history for timing belt or water pump replacements is advised, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT test.
