2011 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL11 BTF

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards following a period of neglect. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 115,495 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive years of defect-free testing in 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical issues that plagued the vehicle between 2018 and 2022. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage without significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity. For example, the vehicle progressed from 67,958 miles in March 2017 to 83,317 miles in April 2018, and continued a predictable climb to the current 115,495 miles. This regular usage pattern typically suggests a well-maintained routine rather than the erratic wear seen in vehicles that sit idle for long periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of deterioration in rubber dust covers for the suspension arm ball joints, anti-roll bar linkages, and track rod ends, particularly during the 2021 and 2022 tests. While these issues appear resolved in the recent clean passes, the frequency of these failures indicates that the rubber components are prone to perishing on this vehicle. Checking for any signs of grease leakage or play in the steering and suspension joints is advisable. The history also shows past issues with tyre condition and braking components. The 2018 and 2021 tests flagged several tyres that were either worn to the legal limit or suffering from sidewall cracking and perishing. Additionally, the 2019 test identified pitted and scored front inner brake discs. Although the most recent records show no current defects, a thorough check of the remaining tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the condition of the brake discs and pads remains a necessary part of a pre-purchase inspection.
