2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · MF68 RHJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 August 2025 at 135,661 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively managed the vehicle to ensure it meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing during inspection. The mileage data reveals a significant acceleration in usage over the last four years. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the car covered 23,449 miles, suggesting heavy annual use. However, the annual accumulation increased sharply, with 21,403 miles recorded by the 2023 test and another 22,201 miles followed by the 2024 test. This average of approximately 17,000 miles per year is well above the national average for a vehicle of this age, which places higher demand on wear items such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must examine the condition of the shock absorbers and suspension control arm bushes, as the high mileage often accelerates degradation in rubber components. Given the consistent use, checking the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the calipers are not binding is essential. The chassis should also be inspected for signs of corrosion, particularly to ensure that the high-frequency road use has not exposed the structural integrity to excessive salt damage.
