2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · YR58 NHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 December 2025 with 91,900 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure earlier in that year. While the January 2025 test revealed multiple mechanical and structural concerns, the subsequent pass just eleven months later with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the identified faults to rectify the vehicle for road. At 91,900 miles, this 18-year-old Auris reflects a low average usage of approximately 5,100 miles per year. The data shows a gap of 6,589 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 10,589 miles in the following year. This recent spike suggests more frequent use, though the overall low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion due to lack of movement rather than wear-and-tear. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and braking components flagged during the January 2025 test at 81,011 miles. Both front and rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored, which often results from the vehicle sitting idle and allowing rust. More critically, the tester identified corrosion on the front and rear suspension components along with the offside rear coil spring. While these were not deemed seriously weakened at that time, surface rust should be monitored for deep scaling or structural cracks to ensure the integrity of the chassis has not been compromised.
