2007 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · WR07 XJC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 16 September 2025 at 88,757 miles. This indicates that the car is currently maintained to an acceptable standard. While a test failure occurred in early September 2024 at 83,629 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent re-test just eleven days later suggest the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical defects rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,671 miles per year. There is a distinct period of low use between July 2022 and June 2023, where the car covered only 79 miles in an entire year. However, usage has increased significantly recently, with 11,546 miles clocked between June 2023 and September 2024. Such fluctuations in usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, despite the low total odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the record shows no prior advisories for corrosion or worn bushes. Given the vehicle's age and intermittent usage history, checking for surface rust on the sills and brake lines is essential as the MOT does not always flag minor oxidation until it becomes structural. Verify the condition of the tyres and brake discs specifically, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber or corroded discs despite sufficient tread depth.
