2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · RK57 NVM

The 2007 Toyota Auris presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with its most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 115,409 miles passing with zero defects. This outcome, combined with four consecutive clean passes since 2023, confirms a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. The vehicle shows no recurring faults, no corrosion concerns, and no emissions or braking issues, indicating consistent preventative care by its keeper. Mileage progression tells a coherent story. Between 23 March 2026 and 24 March 2025, the car covered 7,086 miles. The prior year saw 10,071 miles added, and the year before that 7,751 miles. Annual distances sit comfortably around the 6,000 to 10,000-mile range, consistent with regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or extreme high-mileage abuse. The record is unbroken from 2023 onward, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or extended periods off the road. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, as these vehicles are now approaching two decades old. Tyre condition, brake disc thickness, and exhaust system integrity deserve a physical check, particularly given the steady mileage accumulation. The front suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links should be examined for play, as these are common wear items on higher-mileage Toyotas that MOTs may not always flag until failure. The absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive tests is genuinely unusual for a car of this age and suggests attentive ownership. A test drive over uneven surfaces will confirm whether the suspension remains tight, while a steady-speed brake check will verify the hydraulic system has not developed any latent issues since the March 2026 pass. Overall, this Auris appears to have been properly maintained, and the MOT record offers strong reassurance to any prospective buyer.
