The TOYOTA AURIS (2007-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 D-4D 90 T3 MM AUTO is a compact, three-door hatchback aimed at buyers wanting a sensible alternative to larger family cars. In the UK used-car market, it sits alongside the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic, with Toyota’s reputation for dependable everyday transport. This diesel version suits commuters and small households who value modest running costs, while the three-door body is less convenient for regular rear-seat access than a five-door rival. The automatic-style MM transmission offers clutch-free convenience, and the 1.4-litre engine is known for prioritising fuel economy over brisk performance overall. Across 35 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 18 distinct VINs, the average private-sale valuation was £1,700; recorded cars averaged 109,000 miles, about 7,000 miles annually, and nearly five previous keepers. These figures offer a snapshot, not a guarantee for any individual Auris, so check its history, condition and transmission carefully before buying.
