Toyota Auris (2019)
2019 Toyota Auris
CarHunch analysed 1,150 real MOT records for the 2019 Toyota Auris. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Toyota Auris is a reliably built car, with an 84% first-time pass rate that edges ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are present in only 15.7% of vehicles—well within acceptable bounds for a five-year-old model. The hybrid variants dominate this cohort and perform consistently well at 83.8% pass rate, suggesting Toyota's hybrid engineering on this generation is sound.
At nearly 50,000 miles median, these Auris examples show typical wear for their age, and the low failure rate of 0.89 per vehicle indicates most pass without major issues. Before buying, run a full-history check on any individual example, as advisories average 4.0 per vehicle—mainly minor wear items—and confirm the hybrid system's service history, as that's where you'll want confidence in maintenance records.
What to check before buying a 2019 Toyota Auris
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.
