Looking at a Auris?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Auris is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Auris disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 167,792 in 2018 Q4 and stand at 141,760 in 2026 Q1, down 16%. That is down 12% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 5,792 are declared SORN — 1 in 25 of the 147,552 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Auris MOT pass rate

In 2024, 72.4% of 138,357 Toyota Auris MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 80.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 60.3% aged 15–30 years.

  • Stop Lamp — 4.1% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Position Lamps — 4% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Condition — 3.5% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Brake Performance — 3.4% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
