2013 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · FL13 VME

This 2013 Toyota Auris has very high mileage for its age, averaging nearly 18,000 miles per year. This suggests heavy use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The most recent MOT from October 2025 passed, but only after a failure. The vehicle is showing a worsening trend regarding corrosion and wear. Specifically, the offside rear coil spring has been flagged as corroded for at least two years, indicating a lack of preventative maintenance. There is also evidence of an oil leak noted in 2024 and brake pads wearing thin in 2025. While these are common for a high-mileage vehicle, the recurring nature of the suspension corrosion suggests the car's condition is declining. A buyer should first inspect the underside for significant rust and verify if the corroded coil spring was actually replaced or merely patched. Check the engine bay for active oil leaks and test the brake pedal feel to ensure the pads and discs are in good health.
