2013 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FH62 MSV

The 2013 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 77,808 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a thirteen-year-old car. The record shows 43,534 miles at the 27 October 2021 test, rising to 52,778 by 3 November 2022, 61,306 on 24 October 2023, 70,003 on 28 October 2024, and 77,808 on 28 October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheets across this low-use pattern suggest careful, light-duty ownership rather than neglect, though standing periods can conceal perished seals or flat-spotted tyres not visible to the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age. The MOT record flags nothing, but thirteen years can quietly develop corrosion on sills and subframes that a pass without advisories will not capture. Check the exhaust for internal rot and verify the condition of consumables such as wiper blades and tyres that the tests never queried. The absence of recurring defects points to no worsening mechanical trend. Treat the Auris as a low-risk purchase on paper, subject to a hands-on check of structural integrity and underbody rust before completion.
