Should you buy a used Toyota Auris Excel Vvt-i CVT?

The Toyota Auris Excel Vvt-i CVT has an overall MOT pass rate of 93.4% across 472 real MOT tests — comfortably above the UK average, which puts it among the more reliable models on UK roads.

The most common problems on the Toyota Auris Excel Vvt-i CVT are headlamp not working on dipped beam (1 recorded failures), tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.0mm cord exposed (1), and windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.

A typical Toyota Auris Excel Vvt-i CVT owner drives around 6,940 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
