2008 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · SW58 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 87,335 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure three days prior at nearly identical mileage. This pattern suggests a minor, easily rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was addressed immediately before the retest. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three tests indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum operational standards. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 87,335 miles represents a low usage average of approximately 4,850 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with intervals of roughly 2,400 to 2,500 miles between the November tests of 2023 and 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mile counterparts. However, low-frequency use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid stagnation if the vehicle is not driven for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage-related fatigue. Given the vehicle's age, check the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as the MOT record does not flag historical rust. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or per, as these materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. While the MOT history is clean, verify the condition of the brake discs and hoses to ensure no pitting or seizing has occurred due to the low usage pattern.
