2015 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · B4 FAY

The Toyota Auris has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its last test on 26 January 2026, with no defects recorded at 54,135 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests—spanning January 2023 to January 2026—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend. However, the duplicate entry for January 2025 (both a pass and a fail at the same mileage) suggests a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults have been documented, which aligns with the vehicle’s low-mileage profile. The recorded mileage of 54,135 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 4,921 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Auris’s typical usage patterns. The most recent 12-month period between tests (January 2025 to January 2026) saw no mileage accumulation, implying the vehicle may have been stationary or lightly used. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (46,371 to 47,974 miles) represents just 1,603 miles in a year, reinforcing the pattern of minimal usage. While this reduces wear on high-stress components, it also raises questions about whether critical fluids, such as brake fluid or coolant, have been properly serviced or replaced according to schedule. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. The front brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT tester did not record any brake-related advisories despite the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, should be thoroughly checked, especially given the low mileage which may mask rust progression. Additionally, the battery, wiring loom, and interior components—such as seatbelt webbing and airbag status—should be verified, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can degrade over time due to age. The absence of emissions-related advisories suggests the engine and catalytic converter remain functional, but a smoke test or diagnostic scan would confirm no hidden issues.
