2013 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · YR63 AEU

The 2013 Toyota Auris presents a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent DVSA test on 25 October 2025 at 128,353 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no advisories or failures at any examination. The vehicle's mechanical condition as evidenced by official tests indicates consistent compliance with statutory standards over its later life. Mileage progression relative to the 13-year lifespan shows an initially low-use phase followed by moderate accumulation. The tester logged 23,668 miles on 1 November 2016 and 29,276 miles on 2 November 2017, reflecting circa 5,600 miles per annum. A conspicuous gap then appears: the next test occurs on 15 November 2021 at 80,342 miles, implying the car covered roughly 51,000 miles across four absent test years or remained sparsely used and untaxed. From 2021 to the 5 November 2024 test at 123,912 miles, the annual rate rose to about 14,500 miles. The final recorded test shows 128,353 miles, a modest 4,441-mile addition in eleven months. The sparse early records and intervening lapse suggest previous owners may have stored the vehicle or omitted annual testing, yet subsequent passes with zero defects imply remedial work kept pace when resumed. No recurring faults or structural advisories appear in the MOT archive, so the buyer faces no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers or exhausted brake discs from the dataset. Given the age and 128,000-mile distance, a physical inspection should still scrutinise commonplace wear points: front coil springs, track rod ends, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The absence of recorded defects does not exempt the Auris from age-related degradation of consumables like tyres and wiper blades, which the tests did not flag as deficient.
