2008 Toyota Auris T3 VVT-I 1.4L Petrol · YLZ 6008

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, dated 2023‑10‑03 at 147,424 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding tests from 2022, 2021, 2019 and 2018 also returned passes, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no emerging faults. As of 2026‑08‑07 the MOT is well beyond the two‑year legal requirement, so the car currently lacks a valid certificate and cannot be considered roadworthy without a new test. Mileage has risen roughly 8,200 miles per year, a typical rate for an 18‑year‑old vehicle. The gap between the 2019‑09‑02 test (135,654 miles) and the 2021‑10‑04 test (141,699 miles) spans about two years, during which the odometer increased by 6,045 miles, reflecting normal usage rather than an unusual surge. The record is clean, with no advisories or failures, suggesting basic upkeep was not neglected. A prospective buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and check the exhaust and chassis for corrosion. Visual assessment of structural panels and under‑body rust is advisable given the car’s age and mileage. A mechanical check of the drivetrain mounts and gearbox mounts will confirm that the absence of recorded faults aligns with actual component condition.
