2015 Toyota Auris 1.6L Diesel · SF65 XFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test on January 28, 2026 at 115,189 miles passed with an advisory for a worn rear anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush. This follows a failure just eleven days prior at 114,730 miles, where the car failed for a blown stop lamp, an illegal nearside front tyre, and the same suspension defect. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the recurring appearance of suspension wear suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT pass. At 115,189 miles, this 11-year-old Aur averages approximately 10,472 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The data shows a significant spike in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered 17,334 miles in a single year. Conversely, the period between February 2025 and January 2026 saw only 11,179 miles covered. This fluctuation in mileage puts consistent stress on components like brake discs and tyres, which is reflected in the pitting and perishing noted in earlier records. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 records specifically flagged both front brake discs as worn and pitted, indicating long periods of inactivity or neglect leading to corrosion. Given the current advisory on the rear anti-roll bar linkage, the inspector should check all other suspension bushes and ball joints for play or perished rubber. Furthermore, with a history of failing for tyre perishing and tread depth in 2026, the current age and condition of all four tyres must be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their structural life.
