Every Toyota Auris model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2010 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Toyota Auris:

What this means if you are buying a 2010 Auris

The 2010 is a weaker year for this model, passing 6.7 points less often than the Toyota Auris average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2010 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 16-year-old car fails on

A 2010 car is 16 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2010 Toyota Auris the average at test was 92,509 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2018 at 89%, and the weakest in our data is 2007 at 69.8%. That 19.2 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2010 car against a newer one tells you very little.
