2013 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YC62 RHO

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 96,141 miles recorded no defects, suggesting that the significant mechanical issues identified in previous years were finally addressed. However, the period between 2023 and 2024 showed a worsening trend in suspension and brake component wear, indicating that parts were often ignored until they reached a critical failure point. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 96,141 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 7,400 miles. This low annual mileage is consistent with a typical commuter vehicle and should generally imply less strain on the drivetrain and engine. The mileage progression is steady, with only about 1,000 miles covered between the December 2024 and 2025 tests. While the low mileage suggests the car is susceptible to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion rather than high-mileage fatigue. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the record shows recurring failures with suspension arm bushes, ball joint dust covers, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links. The tester specifically noted corrosion on the front shock absorber casings in 2023 and 2024, which should be checked for fluid leaks. Additionally, the rear brake discs have been a persistent issue since 2018, frequently noted as pitted or scored, which suggests the owner may have delayed replacing them until necessary.
