The TOYOTA AURIS (2007-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.2 D-4D 177 SR180 is a sporty, three-door version of Toyota’s compact hatchback. Its powerful diesel engine gives it brisk performance, setting it apart from other Auris models. In the UK it competes with hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 145 checks across 60 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of this specialist model. The average private-sale valuation is £2,000, with average recorded mileage of 127,000 and annual mileage of 10,000. Checks show about five previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history is especially worthwhile. This Auris suits commuters seeking lively performance or buyers wanting a second car. Its three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat passengers than a five-door rival, so it best fits singles, couples or smaller households. The SR180’s unusual blend of pace and practicality makes it a distinctive used diesel hatchback.
