2011 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · SA11 URR

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While it passed its most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 134,109 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior. The October 2025 failure revealed that both side outer integral body structures had corroded to the point of significantly reducing assembly rigidity. Although the subsequent pass suggests these specific structural areas were addressed, the presence of widespread corrosion across the sills and vehicle structure indicates active ongoing decay. The recorded mileage of 134,109 miles over 15 years reflects an average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical domestic use for this age. However, the data shows a rapid accumulation of 4,303 miles between October 2023 and October 2025, a period during which the vehicle suffered multiple mechanical failures and structural defects. The interval between tests suggests that while the car is driven regularly, the frequency of preventative maintenance appears to be de-priorised against the rate of corrosion observed on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough underbody inspection focusing on the sills, subframe support brackets, and integral body structures. The history shows recurring structural issues from 2023 through 2025, which often indicates surface repairs rather than comprehensive remediation. Mechanical attention is also required for the suspension system, as the front lower suspension arm bushes were flagged as excessively worn in 2025 following a failure in 2023. The brake system also warrants scrutiny, given records of corroded brake pipes, pitted front discs, and a weakened rear brake disc that suggest components are nearing the end of their functional life.
