Toyota Auris Tr D 4d (2007)
2007 Toyota Auris Tr D 4d
CarHunch analysed 319 real MOT records for the 2007 Toyota Auris Tr D 4d. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Auris diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of 74.8%, which trails the UK average of 80% and suggests slightly above-average wear for its age. The good news is zero dangerous defects recorded across 319 vehicles, so safety concerns aren't the issue here—it's just routine mechanical failures catching up with a 17-year-old car.
At 134,000 miles median, this Auris sits exactly where you'd expect for its age, meaning it hasn't been hammered relative to peers. With 1.2 failures per vehicle on average and effectively no advisories to warn of trouble ahead, most cars are failing on one specific problem rather than multiple issues, which is actually preferable. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on that single recurring failure point—likely suspension or exhaust components—rather than assuming widespread decline.
What to check before buying a 2007 Toyota Auris Tr D 4d
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
