2015 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · YY15 AOT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 59,587 miles, but the recorded history indicates a worsening maintenance trend. The tester flagged worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides, a recurrence of a nearside front bush advisory first noted in the 21 March 2024 test at 54,310 miles. This component has now deteriorated to affect both front arms, suggesting progressive wear that was temporarily absent in the 2025 test but has returned and expanded. A new advisory for a slightly damaged nearside rear tyre also appears in the latest record. Mileage accumulation is consistent and low for the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 5,417 miles annually over its 11-year life. The recorded mileages show steady, moderate use with increases of roughly 2,000 to 2,300 miles between each annual test from 2022 to 2026. There are no significant gaps suggesting prolonged periods of disuse, nor are there any rapid mileage spikes that would indicate severe, concentrated wear. The low overall mileage may lessen general drivetrain wear but does not prevent age-related degradation of rubber and composite components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension components in person, focusing specifically on the condition of the lower arm bushes for any excessive movement or deterioration that could compromise handling. The nearside rear tyre requires immediate assessment for the severity of the cracking or perishing noted, as this is a safety-critical item that may necessitate replacement. While brakes and structural corrosion were not formally defective in this record, the recurring suspension advisories warrant a thorough check of all steering and suspension linkages, and a general examination for any hidden corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and wheel arches, given the vehicle's age.
