2013 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · MV63 CTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 105,466 miles passed, but it revealed advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edges. This mirrors an issue seen in April 2023 at 73,921 miles, indicating that the owner consistently delays tyre replacement until they reach critical levels. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. There is a notable spike in usage recorded between April 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. This high-intensity period coincides with the 2024 failure at 86,598 miles due to a nearside front service brake being excessively binding. While the vehicle passed a retest just three days later, the failure suggests that mechanical faults were addressed only after a formal inspection failure. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the binding caliper issue has not caused excessive heat damage to the discs or overheating of the hub. The recurring uneven wear on the front tyres also warrants a check of wheel alignment and an inspection for worn suspension bushes or control arms. Given the age and typical usage of the vehicle, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion on structural members is also necessary, despite no structural advisories appearing in the recent history.
