Toyota Auris Icon D4 D (2013)
2013 Toyota Auris Icon D4 D
CarHunch analysed 233 real MOT records for the 2013 Toyota Auris Icon D4 D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2013 Auris diesel is a concern for MOT reliability: it passes first time only 61% of the time, compared to the UK average of 80%, meaning four in ten will need a retest. There are no dangerous defects recorded across the 233 vehicles analysed, which is a genuine bright spot, though the 0.44 average failures per vehicle still signals systemic issues worth investigating.
At 82,989 miles median, these cars are running high mileage for their age, and the absence of advisories suggests problems surface as outright failures rather than early warnings. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine and transmission, since this cohort's weak MOT performance hints at wear patterns that won't always show up on a test drive.
What to check before buying a 2013 Toyota Auris Icon D4 D
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
