Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent suspe
When viewing this Auris, prioritize a thorough check of the underside. The most recent MOT records corrosion on both nearside and offside front suspension arms, as well as oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. You should ask the seller for evidence that these specific components have been replaced or treated, rather than just being noted as 'not seriously weakened'.
Given the high mileage of 108,400 miles, verify the service history specifically regarding the hybrid battery health and cooling system maintenance. Although the MOT history doesn't show electrical failures, high-mileage hybrids require consistent upkeep to maintain efficiency. Negotiate on the basis of the upcoming maintenance needs suggested by the recent suspension advisories.
As a 1.8L hybrid, this Auris is designed for fuel efficiency, typically offering low CO2 emissions which helps with tax bands. Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the driver profile, but it is generally positioned in a moderate bracket.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle may be higher in the short term due to the suspension components identified in the 2025 MOT. Expect typical hybrid servicing costs, but budget for potential replacements of shock absorbers and suspension arms based on the recorded advisories. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500, depending on annual mileage and insurance premiums.
Focus heavily on the front suspension assembly. The MOT history for this vehicle specifically notes corrosion on the nearside and offside front suspension arms, as well as a 'light misting of oil' on the offside front shock absorber. Inspect these areas for any signs of active leaks or worsening rust.
Additionally, check the condition of the ball joint dust covers. The 2023 MOT failure was caused by severely deteriorated covers on both front lower suspension arms. While these may have been addressed, ensure the replacement parts are in good condition. Finally, test all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps and dipped beams, as these have caused failures in the past for this vehicle.
This 2015 Toyota Auris Hybrid has covered 108,400 miles as of its last MOT, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,256 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension issues, including corroded arms and deteriorated ball joint dust covers. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025, the presence of advisories regarding shock absorber oil misting and corrosion warrants careful inspection.
The Toyota Auris model shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.3% across the aggregate data of 157,275 vehicles.
