2014 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · SA64 BVN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on May 19, 2026. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The failure recorded just one mile prior at 118,165 miles highlighted multiple immediate safety concerns, including an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, significantly worn rear brake discs, and multiple lighting failures. While these issues were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the density of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components when they reach the point of 시험 failure. At 118,166 miles, the vehicle averages approximately 9,847 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a twelve-year-old car. The mileage progression shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 13,700 miles covered between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 12,900 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored rear brake discs in 2024 and 2025, culminating in a failure in 2026, indicate a pattern of neglecting brake components until they become dangerously thin. The failure of the ball joint also suggests that other suspension rubberwork, such as bushes and coil spring mounts, may be nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, check the tyres for perishing, as the 2024 advisory regarding cracking on the nearside rear tyre points to age-related material degradation despite the remaining tread.
