2011 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WN61 ADX

The 2026‑06‑02 MOT confirms the 2011 Toyota Auris is currently roadworthy, yet the record shows a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor stabilising; the same suspension and brake advisories recur across the three most recent tests. With 145,569 miles recorded at 15 years of age, the vehicle averages roughly 9,700 miles per year, a pace that aligns with typical usage; mileage has risen steadily from 131,459 miles in June 2023 to 145,569 miles in June 2026, with no anomalous gaps in the annual increments. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension closely: the offside rear coil spring shows corrosion and was noted as fractured in the 2023 failure, while both front track‑rod end ball joints and the offside front suspension arm ball joint dust covers are severely deteriorated, indicating potential wear of bushes and joints that could affect handling. Inspection of the braking system is essential, given repeated service‑brake efficiency shortfalls, persistent corrosion of brake pipes covered in grease, and progressively worn, pitted discs on all corners; additionally, the steering box’s slight free play and the history of rusted exhaust mountings and under‑tray obscuration merit a thorough visual check for structural rust and component integrity.
