2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · HW68 FHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a currently clean MOT record. The most recent test conducted on 10 July 2025 at 30,471 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a successful rectification of a failure noted in the previous year, suggesting that the owner is willing to address identified mechanical issues to maintain the vehicle's condition. The mileage history shows exceptionally low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 annually. Between July 2022 at 23,778 miles and July 2025 at 30,471 miles, the car covered only 6,693 miles over three years. While low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown. The data remains consistent, showing no signs of rapid mileage accumulation that would indicate heavy long-distance use. A buyer should focus on the specific cause of the failure on 17 July 2024 at 28,898 miles, as the record does not specify the component that failed. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should also specifically check for brake caliper seizing or rusted discs, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracks or dry rot, as low-use vehicles often suffer from age-related material fatigue than mechanical wear.
