This 2009 Auris has a serious reliability problem: just 55.9% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, and the petrol variants are essentially failing (0.9% pass rate) while the "Other" fuel type—likely hybrid or dual-fuel variants—achieve 84.7%. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so failures tend to be repairable rather than safety-critical. At 83,000 miles median, these cars are averaging 0.77 failures per test, suggesting age-related wear is catching up with them, and you should budget for repairs before each MOT. If you're seriously considering one, specifically seek out the hybrid or alternative fuel versions and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on emissions equipment and the braking system, which are typically the biggest failure categories at this age.
The 2009 Toyota Auris Tr Stopstart Vvti passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
