Our Verdict
This 2011 Toyota Auris offers excellent value with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age, making it a reliable used purchase.
Prioritise verifying service history to confirm consistent upkeep. Negotiate based on its high mileage (244k miles) for a 13-year-old vehicle, but the clean MOT record mitigates some concerns. Check for rust on the blue bodywork, common in older UK cars. Be cautious of potential transmission wear given the high mileage, though no issues were recorded in MOTs.
Petrol fuel economy averages 40-45 mpg for the 1.6L engine, placing it in UK tax band 'L' (£140/year for 2024-25). Insurance group 15-18 is moderate for a 2011 car. Maintenance costs remain low due to Toyota's reputation, with expected annual expenses of £800-£1,000 covering fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Inspect underbody for rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills, common in blue-painted models. Check engine oil for contamination and transmission fluid leaks. Verify that the 244,675-mile odometer reading matches the vehicle's age (15 years in 2026) and review service records for major repairs. Test drive for unusual noises in the 1.6L engine and clutch wear.
The vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT record with no defects since 2018, despite reaching 244,675 miles. Its 1.6L petrol engine and blue colour are standard for the era. While no model-wide reliability data exists, the absence of reported issues in this vehicle's history suggests good maintenance.
While no aggregate data exists for the Toyota Auris, Toyota as a brand consistently ranks among the most reliable manufacturers in the UK.
