Toyota AURIS

2013–2013

The Toyota AURIS (2013-2013) has a concerning failure rate for suspension issues, making it a risky choice.

The Toyota AURIS (2013-2013) presents significant concerns regarding suspension reliability, particularly highlighted by its overall MOT failure rate of 19.4%, based on 227 tests from DVSA data. This statistic indicates that nearly one in five vehicles fail their MOT, which is a notable risk for potential buyers.

When examining failure rates by mileage, the AURIS shows a troubling trend. For vehicles with over 120,000 miles, the failure rate jumps to 25%, while those in the 80,000 to 120,000 mile range experience a staggering 31.1% failure rate. This suggests that as the vehicle ages and accumulates mileage, the likelihood of suspension-related issues increases significantly.

Moreover, the top defect categories reported in MOT tests reveal that suspension problems are not isolated. The leading issues involve brakes and tyres, which together account for a significant portion of failures. However, the underlying implication is that if these critical components are failing, it raises questions about the overall structural integrity and reliability of the vehicle, including the suspension system.

In summary, prospective buyers should be cautious when considering the Toyota AURIS (2013-2013) due to its high failure rates, particularly in the context of mileage. The risk of expensive suspension problems could lead to unforeseen costs and reliability concerns down the line.
