2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · SU04 AFL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent recorded test on October 1, 2021 at 34,029 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a rear seat belt buckle defect. This indicates that the primary safety defect was identified and immediately rectified, as there are no further mechanical or structural failures recorded in the subsequent pass that same day. The recorded mileage of 34,029 miles over eight years represents an average usage of approximately 4,254 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, which typically suggests reduced wear on high-friction components such as the engine and drivetrain. However, the data set shows a significant gap in testing since late 2021. As of June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT test in nearly five years, leaving the current state of ageing rubber components and fluid integrity unverified. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension to account for potential inactivity. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion on brake discs or seized calipers if they sit stationary for long periods. The prospective owner must also check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished rubber seals, which degrade through age rather than mileage alone. Given the lack of recent testing data, a thorough mechanical check is essential to ensure no structural corrosion or exhaust emission issues have developed since the last recorded entry.
