2013 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · FN13 HNZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2024 at 210,436 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car is currently maintained to a functional standard despite its high mileage. The single failure recorded in June 2022 for a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp was rectified immediately to allow for a pass, suggesting the owner responds to basic safety equipment requirements. The mileage profile reveals intensive usage over the vehicle's thirteen years, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in data between the March 2016 test at 31,180 miles and the June 2022 test at 170,637 miles, representing an accumulation of nearly 140,000 miles in just six years. This transition from low mileage to high-frequency use suggests consistent motorway driving, which typically places less strain on the clutch and suspension than stop-and-go city driving, but accelerates the long-term drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components necessitated by high-mileage operation. Given the 210,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is vital as these parts often fatigue at this interval. The braking system should also be scrutinized for thin discs or seized calipers, and while the MOT history is clean of structural issues, the age of the vehicle warrants an inspection of the chassis for corrosion to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised by road salt exposure.
