2013 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FN13 HNB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor compliance issues. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2025 at 98,379 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous mechanical failures identified in earlier tests were successfully rectified. While the history shows intermittent failures in prior years, the clean pass on the latest annual inspection suggests the current owner is actively maintaining the car to meet minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 6,713 miles, while an additional 6,762 miles were recorded in the following year up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the drivetrain and engine components compared to long periods of stagnation, though rubber components and suspension bushes may still age despite the low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical reasons for those failures. Given the age of the Auris, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion around the suspension mounting is essential to ensure the integrity is not compromised. Inspect the condition of the brake discs for pitting and the state of the coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Toyotas of this era and mileage bracket.
