2008 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · YS08 ABU

The 2008 Toyota Auris remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 52,456 miles passed with no defects, and every annual test over the past four years returned the same result. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging issues reported. At 18 years and 52,456 miles the Auris averages under 3,000 miles per year, a low figure for its age. Mileage increments between tests are modest: 49,607 to 52,456 (849 miles), 47,233 to 49,607 (2,374 miles), and 44,741 to 47,233 (2,492 miles). No abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps appear beyond the expected annual interval, suggesting consistent use without periods of high mileage or neglect. A prospective buyer should still inspect components that typically wear over time. Check tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and valve stems; examine front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play; verify brake system health by inspecting discs for scoring, calipers for binding, and pads for wear; and examine the exhaust for leaks and the body for rust, especially around wheel arches and the underbody. Although the MOT record shows no faults, these checks will confirm the vehicle’s ongoing mechanical condition.
