2009 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · WR59 AEK

This Toyota Auris presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 124,899 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical degradation. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,347 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing by 3,260 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and 4,540 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. There is a notable gap in testing between September 2021 and January 2023, though the lack of failures upon return to the testing cycle indicates the car did not suffer from prolonged standing or neglect. The absence of advisories across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no history of recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. There are no mentions of exhaust emissions failures or structural integrity concerns, which often plague older Japanese hatchbacks in the UK climate. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related wear that MOT testers may overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the rubber seals and the state of the brake fluid and coolant. Given the clean record, the buyer should verify that this lack of reported defects aligns with the service history, ensuring that oil changes and filter replacements were performed regardless of the MOT outcomes.
