Hybrid against the other Toyota Auris versions

Why the fuel type changes the number

Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.

On the Toyota Auris specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 85.3%, and this hybrid version sits 4.4 points above the 80.9% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The hybrid Toyota Auris is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.

Mileage is part of the answer

The average hybrid Toyota Auris had covered 97,693 miles at test, against 81,490 for the petrol and 105,763 for the diesel and 109,651 for the electric. That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust.

Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Toyota Auris page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
