2014 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · SA64 BVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 95,660 miles was a pass, it followed a failure due to critical safety issues including illegal tyres and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The presence of deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers and pitted rear brake discs indicates that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 95,660 miles over twelve years, the Toyota Auris has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a 2014 registration. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 7,800 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the recurring advisories regarding wear on components suggest that routine maintenance is often neglected between test intervals. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension system, as worn arm bushes and ball joints have appeared in multiple tests between 2023 and 2024. The braking system also requires attention, with pitted and scored discs noted on both front and rear axles across 2024 and 2025 records. Furthermore, the exhaust mounting and heat shields have been flagged as defective or insecure repeatedly, suggesting the exhaust system hardware should be checked for excessive corrosion to prevent future noise or structural failure of the hangers.
