2013 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH13 RXD

This Toyota Auris presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pattern of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 3 April 2026 at 160,955 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in April 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 160,955 miles over 13 years, averaging roughly 12,381 miles per year. This is high usage for a hatchback of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, increasing by 8,620 miles between April 2025 and April 2026, and 7,274 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. The lack of significant gaps in the record indicates the car has been in constant use rather than sitting idle. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage vehicle, showing no flagged issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last three years. While the absence of advisories is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and suspension components. High-mileage Toyotas can develop wear in the shock absorbers and steering rack that may not trigger a failure but will affect drive quality. Check the service history for evidence of timing chain or belt replacements and transmission fluid changes. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 3 April 2025 at 152,330 miles, though the specific defect is not listed. Verify if this was a minor consumable issue or a more significant mechanical fault. Given the mileage, a physical check of the brake pads and tyre tread depth is necessary to ensure they have not reached the end of their service life since the April test.
