2007 Toyota Auris 2.2L Diesel · R6 MAH

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised, showing a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition. While the car passed previous tests, the most recent inspection in December 2024 at 83,480 miles resulted in a significant failure across multiple critical systems. The tester identified a corroded and seriously weakened offside front suspension arm, alongside a leaking fuel tank filler neck and insecure exhaust systems. These failures indicate a transition from minor wear to urgent structural and mechanical defects that require immediate attention to restore safety. The vehicle exhibits a low mileage profile at 83,480 miles over 19 years, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per annum. However, the data suggests long periods of inactivity, such as the nearly 2,000 miles covered between January 2023 and November 2023. This low-mileage pattern often correlates with the mechanical issues noted in the record, as the persistent corrosion on brake pipes and suspension arms points to the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces over time rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and undercarriage. The history shows recurring issues with the inner body structure sills, with corrosion noted in both 2022 and 2024. Particular attention is required for the front suspension assembly, as the record highlights worn bushes and excessively worn ball joints across multiple tests. The braking system also requires verification, as the corroded brake pipes and binding rear calipers flagged in 2023 suggest that the hydraulic components and sliders have not been properly maintained.
