2013 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LK63 FBB

The vehicle achieved a clean PASS at the most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 with 72 818 miles recorded and no defects noted. The preceding test on 28 January 2025 also returned a PASS at 59 285 miles, indicating that the earlier suspension‑bush wear identified in 2023 and 2024 has not re‑appeared. The pattern shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from minor advisories to a defect‑free status in the latest inspections. Mileage accumulation over the car’s 13‑year life totals 72 818 miles, averaging roughly 5 600 miles per year – a low figure for its age that suggests light or intermittent use. The jump from 59 285 miles in January 2025 to 72 818 miles in December 2025 represents a 13 533‑mile increase in about ten months, which is above the long‑term average but still consistent with a vehicle that may have been stored for periods. Earlier years show steady, modest gains, confirming a generally low‑usage profile. A buyer should pay particular attention to the front suspension components, as the 2023 and 2024 tests flagged worn lower‑arm pins and bushes (5.3.4 (a)(i)). The 2021 MOT noted front‑tyre wear close to the legal limit, and a 2016 failure recorded a cut tyre reaching the cords, so the condition of both front tyres and any associated wheel‑bearing seals warrants close inspection. While recent tests show no brake or exhaust advisories, a visual check of brake‑disc thickness, caliper operation and the exhaust system is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Finally, examine the chassis and sill areas for corrosion, especially around the rear seat‑belt mounting region noted in the 2016 failure, to ensure structural integrity before purchase.
