2014 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · YP64 FYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on January 2026 at 90,953 miles followed an immediate failure just one day prior due to multiple lighting defects and a deficient offside front tyre. While the car passed the re-test, the presence of stop lamp and registration plate light failures suggests that the owner only addressed basic electrical issues once they threatened the MOT pass certificate. At 90,953 miles, this 12-year-old Auris averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family hatchback. There is a significant gap in records between February 2025 (78,029 miles) and January 2026 (90,953 miles), representing over 12,000 miles driven in less than eleven months. This recent surge in mileage explains the rapid wear on the offside front tyre noted in the latest inspection, as the vehicle is currently being driven much more frequently than its historical average suggests. A buyer should inspect the front suspension alignment and tyres, as the offside front tyre was flagged as worn on the edge, which often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. Given the recurring issues with external lighting bulbs across the 2025 and 2026 tests, a thorough check of the wiring and bulb sockets is advised to ensure no corrosion is present. No structural corrosion or mechanical brake failures were recorded in the history, but the sudden increase in mileage means consumable components like brake pads and discs should be measured for remaining life.
