2013 Toyota Auris 1.6L Gas bi-fuel · SH63 CKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition from clean records to emerging mechanical component wear. The most recent test in February 2025 at 141,219 miles identified advisories for both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age and high mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this era, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage recorded between February 2022 and February 2023, where the vehicle covered over 35,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, the mileage accumulation has remained at a higher rate, adding nearly 20,000 miles between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests. This increased activity explains the sudden appearance of wear on rubber-based suspension components noted in the latest MOT entry. A prospective buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to check for play in the control arm bushings, as the worn bushes flagged in 2025 will eventually lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear. Given the previous mention of a worn nearside rear tyre in 2021, the current condition and alignment of all four tyres should be verified against legal limits. The vehicle shows a clean history regarding structural integrity and brake failures, but the high-mileage demands a thorough check of shock absorbers and drivetrain components to ensure no further costly repairs are imminent.
