Is the 2013 Auris getting worse?

Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	85.4% +10.8 vs same-age
2024	83.7% +10.5 vs same-age
2025	82.2% +10.1 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2013 Toyota Auris reliable?

2013-registered examples passed 83.8% of their MOT tests (40,966 tests, 2023–2025), +10.5 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 13 years old with a median 76,915 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Auris?

The median tested example shows 76,915 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
