Defect rate by model year
The Toyota Auris, introduced in 2006, is a compact hatchback known for its practicality, reliability, and fuel efficiency. As part of Toyota's commitment to quality, the Auris has generally received favorable reviews for its performance and comfort. However, like any vehicle, it has faced challenges regarding reliability as reflected in MOT inspection data over the years.
When examining the reliability of the Auris from 2007 to 2019, the data indicates a gradual improvement in performance relative to the average defects observed in similar model year vehicles. In its early years, such as 2007 and 2008, the Auris showed higher defect rates compared to the average, with 383 and 362 defects per 100 tests, respectively. However, by 2013, the model made significant strides, achieving a defect rate of just 187 defects per 100 tests, which was notably better than the average of 219 for that year. This trend continued, with the 2015-2019 models consistently performing better than the average, culminating in a defect rate of 105 in 2019, only slightly below the average of 106.
Recurring issues across the years often pertained to common wear-and-tear components such as brake pipes, suspension components, and tyre tread depth. While these problems are not unique to the Auris, they highlight the importance of regular maintenance, particularly for older vehicles. Notably, the 2010 model year was a turning point, showing a slight increase in defects compared to its predecessor, but it remained competitive with the average.
