2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · WR07 BNE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status but shows a clear trend of worsening surface corrosion and component wear. While it passed its last test in January 2023 at 103,521 miles, the record reveals a significant list of defects that required attention immediately following a failure. The transition from a clean record in 2019 to a multi-point failure in 2023 indicates that the vehicle is now experiencing age-related degradation despite its low annual mileage. At 19 years old, the mileage of 103,521 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a visible gap in the data between June 2019 at 87,327 miles and December 2021 at 100,614 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in just eighteen months. This low usage frequency often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion on vehicles that may sit for extended periods without the benefit of use. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and braking system. The tester has consistently flagged corrosion on both the front and rear vehicle structures since 2021, and while rigidity has not yet been compromised, the progression is concerning. The corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe and fuel pipes, combined with a binding rear service brake, suggests that the hydraulic lines are failing. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension arm bushes and the coil springs, as these were identified as worn or corroded in the most recent inspections.
