The TOYOTA AURIS (2007-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 D-4D 177 T180 is a powerful, five-door family hatchback from Toyota’s answer to the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra. It sits in the mainstream compact-car class, offering practical everyday transport rather than SUV size or city-car simplicity. Its 2.2-litre diesel and T180 trim make it a rarer, sportier choice than ordinary Auris models. mycarcheck.com records 426 checks covering 186 distinct VINs, a useful sample of UK interest. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,400 and average recorded mileage of 114,000 miles; typical annual use is 6,000 miles. The cars average just over five previous keepers, so check each vehicle’s history and condition carefully. With its strong diesel performance, it suits commuters and small families wanting useful space with more punch for overtaking than a standard hatch. It feels distinctive among sensible rivals, but running costs and maintenance deserve attention.
