2010 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · BT10 FMJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of escalating wear and deferred preventative maintenance. The most recent test in November 2025 at 145,589 miles flagged multiple advisories including worn front suspension arm pin bushes and perishing rear tyres. While the car passed, the accumulation of minor suspension and tyre issues suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where several life-cycle components will require simultaneous replacement. At 145,589 miles, the Auris has averaged approximately 9,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady progression between tests, with roughly 11,700 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 3,100 miles in the year preceding the latest test. This consistent mileage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which likely explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record reveals a persistent issue with corrosion across all brake pipes dating back to 2021, and binding rear brakes noted in both 2021 and 2024. The tester also flagged worn rear discs in late 2025, indicating the braking system is nearing its service limit. Furthermore, the worn front suspension bushes and previous failures of anti-roll bar linkages suggest that the chassis should be checked for clunking noises or uneven tyre wear, as these components are showing clear signs of fatigue.
