2014 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · KS14 XUP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 77,573 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend compared to the previous test in December 2024, where the car failed due to minor consumable issues and wiper failure. The subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the identified tyre wear and replaced the faulty wiper blade prior to the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 64,745 miles and the December 2024 test at 72,837 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles, showing a slight increase in annual usage. The total recorded mileage remains low for the age of the Toyota Auris, suggesting light use though long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to aged rubber components or brake corrosion despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension alignment and tyre condition, as the 2024 failure flagged multiple tyres worn specifically on the outer edges. This often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment to prevent premature wear. While the 2023 advisory noted thin rear brake pads, a physical inspection of the remaining pads and discs is necessary to ensure they have not reached the limit of their life since that report.
