2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · BD68 JFJ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend despite recurring issues related to rubber components. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 25,962 miles resulted in a pass, though it highlighted concerns regarding a perished offside rear tyre and a distorted nearside rear road wheel. These findings suggest that while the mechanical systems appear sound, the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation rather than wear from use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,245 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-mileage intervals, moving from 15,647 miles in August 2022 to 25,962 miles in August 2025. The failure in August 2023 at 18,892 miles due to a front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit indicates that the car may have sat for extended periods, allowing rubber to dry out or flat spot despite low mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as cracking and perishing have been noted faults in both 2022 and 2025. The distorted nearside rear wheel flagged in the 2025 test requires a check for vibration or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also verify the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers and check the suspension bushes for cracking, which are common issues on vehicles that remain stationary for long durations.
