2018 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · VN68 FPU

The vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 09/12/2025 at 16,319 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last five recorded tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,040 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 5,697 miles and the December 2024 test at 13,614 miles, the car covered only 7,917 miles. This low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internal components, and suspension assembly, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or the degradation of rubber-based seals. Because the MOT record shows no historical mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which often occurs when a car sits for extended periods. The inspector should also verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as the tread depth likely remains high despite the low mileage.
