Fiches-auto reports battery discharges on 2012-2014 examples, generally after a few days standing. Caradisiac also cites, from forums, a dashboard warning light that can discharge the 12 V battery.

L'argus describes abnormal oil consumption (more than 0.5 litres per 1,000 km) on the 1.4 D-4D up to the end of production, with an engine to replace in serious cases, and a piston ring and piston problem on the 2.0 D-4D up to a certain chassis number. Caradisiac reports heavy oil consumption on the diesels, which can reach 2 litres per 1,000 km; Fiches-auto cites it as the most frequent problem of the 1.4 D-4D.

The EGR cooler of the 1.6 D-4D can leak over time, generating deposits in the EGR module and the intake manifold. Toyota launched a recall in France for vehicles built between April 2015 and May 2018, including the Auris II (L'argus). L'argus also cites the 1.6 D-4D EGR valve as a weak point in its reliability review.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
