Toyota AURIS

2014–2014

The Toyota AURIS (2014-2014) has significant electrical issues, making it a risky purchase.

The Toyota AURIS (2014-2014) has an overall MOT failure rate of 18.6%, based on 381 real MOT tests from DVSA data. While the most common defects are related to brakes and tyres, the chronic electrical problems category remains a concern for potential buyers. Electrical issues can lead to costly repairs and may affect overall vehicle reliability.

In examining the failure rates by mileage, we see a troubling trend. Vehicles with a mileage of 120k+ exhibit a failure rate of 22.5%, which is significantly higher than the 12.2% failure rate for those with 0-40k miles. This suggests that as the AURIS ages, the likelihood of encountering electrical problems increases.

Moreover, the failure rates for the 40-80k and 80-120k mileage brackets are also concerning, at 19.4% and 20.7% respectively. This indicates that even moderately used AURIS models are prone to issues that could stem from electrical faults. Given these statistics, buyers should be cautious when considering this model.

In conclusion, while the Toyota AURIS may have a reputation for reliability, the data indicates a notable risk of chronic electrical problems. Prospective buyers should weigh these factors carefully before making a purchase decision.
