Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to the very high mi
Given the mileage, the primary focus should be on the health of the hybrid battery and the 1.8L engine. Request evidence of any hybrid health checks and verify the service intervals, as high-mileage vehicles require strict adherence to oil changes to maintain engine longevity.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements associated with a vehicle over 170,000 miles. Check for a detailed service history that justifies the high usage and ensures that major wear items have been replaced periodically.
The hybrid electric drivetrain provides strong fuel economy, which helps offset the costs associated with high-mileage maintenance. Tax and insurance for this 1.8L variant are typically competitive for its class.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age of vehicle due to the wear and tear associated with 172,582 miles. Expect higher spend on suspension components and consumables.
Carefully inspect the suspension and wheel bearings, specifically the offside rear, following the failure recorded in December 2024. Check the current condition of the tyres, as both front tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit in the same 2024 test.
Additionally, inspect the brake pads and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider Auris model range. Ensure all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps, are fully operational.
This 2014 white Toyota Auris Hybrid has covered 172,582 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for this model. The MOT history shows a failure in December 2024 involving tyres and a wheel bearing, though the two most recent tests were passed without any recorded defects. It represents a high-use example of a model with a respectable 81.3% aggregate pass rate.
The Toyota Auris maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 81.3%, with most failures being common wear items like brake pads and wipers.
