2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · HG18 AEB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean record. After three years of flawless passes between 2022 and 2024, the July 2026 test at 62,817 miles identified minor defects related to wear and tear. The current trend suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where aged components require proactive attention, following a long period of relatively stable mechanical performance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 30,444 miles and the 2026 test at 62,817 miles, the car has covered a steady distance without periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive use. This low annual mileage generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than purely mechanical friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the 2026 record flagged worn, pitted, and scored discs. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the rotors are nearing the end of their functional life and may require replacement to ensure consistent braking efficiency. The nearside front tyre also shows signs of cracking or perishing, which is a common symptom of rubber rot in low-mileage vehicles. This tyre should be checked for deep structural damage to prevent a blowout.
