2019 Toyota Auris MOT pass rate: 89.1% (3,681 tests)
Is the 2019 Auris getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 90.5% +0.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 89.0% +0.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 87.6% +0.6 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 Auris?
