2014 Toyota Auris Active D4-D 1.4L Heavy oil · XIG 5095

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 December 2025 at 100,959 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet across the last six recorded tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, avoiding the mechanical degradation or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used but cared for vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the December 2019 and May 2022 tests, where the car covered 17,259 miles, suggesting a period of lower usage or extended storage. Since 2022, usage has become more regular, with 16,440 miles recorded between the 2022 and 2024 tests, and another significant interval before the most recent test. This steady accumulation reduces the likelihood of dry-rot issues associated with long periods of the vehicle standing. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to age-related wear that a stationary test does not always capture. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark. Given the clean record, the brake discs and calipers should be free of excessive corrosion or pitting, as the previous tests did not flag any binding issues. Structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for any hidden corrosion on the sills or mounting points, which are areas of concern on older vehicles. The lack of any advisories regarding exhaust emissions or leaks in the history indicates a healthy engine state, but a direct check of the underbody remains a standard professional requirement to ensure no new rust has developed between the test intervals.
