2014 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LP14 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs in its more recent years. The most recent test in May 2026 at 126,148 miles passed with a minor failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp, which is a recurring issue also seen in 2025. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the recent history indicates that wear-related components are now being addressed as they reach failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between July 2019 and May 2021, where the car covered roughly 15,500 miles over two years. Since the 2021 test, the accumulation has remained steady, moving from 79,216 miles to the current 126,148 miles at a predictable rate. This consistent usage explains the eventual appearance of mechanical wear on the braking and suspension systems noted in the later tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the May 2025 test at 120,500 miles flagged both worn, pitted discs and thin brake pads. While these were likely replaced since then, a physical check is required to ensure the current components are adequate. The 2024 failure regarding a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover suggests that rubber components are beginning to perish. A thorough inspection of all steering joints and bushes is advisable to prevent further degradation. The 2019 failure highlighted significant neglect regarding basic consumables, with exposed cords on rear tyres and parking brake efficiency issues. Although these specific faults were resolved, the recurring failure of registration plate lamps suggests a lack of attention to minor electrical fixs. The buyer should verify the parking brake performance and check the condition of all tyres to ensure the previous owner has returned to a standard of consistent upkeep.
