2011 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · RO61 EYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on March 6 2026 at 99,279 miles resulted in a failure due to a defective wiper blade, pitted front brake discs, and a faulty rear lamp. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the recurring nature of faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they fail an inspection rather than performing scheduled maintenance between intervals. At 15 years old, the recorded 99,279 miles represent an average of approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to moderate usage. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 10,400 miles driven between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 5,500 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This consistent usage pattern is generally positive, though the age of the vehicle makes rubber components susceptible to degradation despite the low odometer readings. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components. The record shows thin brake pads in early 2025 followed by pitted/scored discs in early 2026, indicating the braking components are being run to their limit. Additionally, the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and edge damage in 2023 and 2024 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a physical check. The presence of cracking and perishing on tyres noted in 2025 also indicates that the rubber may be failing due to age regardless of remaining tread depth.
