2015 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · FD65 AAX

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 290,015 miles resulting in a pass with zero recorded defects. This indicates a stable and well-maintained condition, particularly given the high-intensity usage the car has endured. The absence of advisories across the last four consecutive tests suggests that the current owner is proactive with consumable replacements and mechanical upkeep, effectively mitigating the risks typically associated with such a high-mileage example. The recorded mileage of 290,015 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages approximately 26,365 miles per annum, confirming this vehicle has been used primarily for high-frequency motorway or commercial transit. The accumulation of nearly 26,000 miles between July 2024 and October 2025 demonstrates consistent, heavy usage rather than periods of neglect or prolonged storage. While the 9 July 2024 test initially recorded a failure followed by an immediate pass on the same day, the lack of specific defect data suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that are not always captured by the MOT test, specifically the clutch assembly, gearbox synchromesh, and the condition of the diesel particulate filter if applicable. Given the significant mileage, the suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers are likely approaching or have exceeded their design life, even if they currently pass a static inspection. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil seepage around the rocker cover and turbocharger seals, as these areas often show fatigue at this stage of the vehicle's life. While the MOT history is exemplary, the sheer volume of road use necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain and cooling system hoses to ensure long-term reliability.
