Toyota Auris Tr (2011)
2011 Toyota Auris Tr
CarHunch analysed 289 real MOT records for the 2011 Toyota Auris Tr. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Toyota Auris TR struggles at MOT time, with just a 64.1% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%—that's a significant gap suggesting this generation has genuine durability issues. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially absent (0%), so while repairs are needed, they're unlikely to be safety-critical failures.
At nearly 69,000 miles median, these Auris examples have covered reasonable mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 0.46 failures per test, pointing to wear-related issues rather than design flaws. Before buying, budget for repairs and run a pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension, exhaust, and steering components—the typical weak spots on ageing Auris models.
What to check before buying a 2011 Toyota Auris Tr
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
