Insight summary

Toyota Auris is a common model in this snapshot, with 135,622 represented vehicles and 0.33% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 78.9% from 980,796 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 53. The current pool shows an average of 99,642 miles and an average age of 12.4 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 102,393 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by hybrid electric, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, lighting and track rod ends. The practical read is that the Toyota Auris looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
