Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. While
Given the high mileage and the specific nature of the MOT failures, you should negotiate the price downwards to account for potential upcoming maintenance. Prioritise checking the underside of the car; the history shows repeated mentions of corrosion on the subframe mountings and integral body structure. Even if currently classed as 'not excessive,' corrosion on a 19-year-old vehicle can progress quickly.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history to see if the braking issues noted in 2025 (imbalanced brakes and low efficiency) were addressed with more than just a basic adjustment. You should also check the condition of the tyres and all external lighting, as the most recent failure in 2026 involved multiple bulbs and indicators.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally efficient for a hatchback of this era, though running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical for a non-hybrid petrol engine.
Insurance groups for a 2007 Auris are usually mid-range, and tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this 1598cc unit. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the documented history of needing brake components, tyres, and suspension parts like shock absorbers and coil springs.
A thorough underbody inspection is essential. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 consistently highlight corrosion on the subframe mountings, the rear outer integral body structure, and near vehicle mountings. You must check if this surface corrosion is spreading or becoming structural.
Additionally, inspect the braking system and suspension. The vehicle has a history of imbalanced brakes, worn discs, and thin pads, as well as issues with rear shock absorbers and corroded coil springs. Finally, check the condition of the headlamp lenses, as a previous MOT noted a product on the lens that could affect light output.
This 2007 silver Toyota Auris has covered 162,596 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average of 8,240 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of structural corrosion, specifically regarding the subframe mountings and integral body structure, alongside recent failures for lighting and braking efficiency. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026, the history of advisories and failures suggests a vehicle that requires regular attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being brake pads, windscreen wipers, and coil springs.
