2013 Toyota Auris 1.8 VVT-h Hybrid Sports Estate

Description

So, I’ve got this 2013 Toyota Auris 1.8 VVT-h hybrid sports estate — it’s been through a few years of reliable use and still runs smooth. I’ve kept it well looked after, and it’s had full MOTs every year, so it’s definitely safe and ready to drive.

It’s got that striking blue paint — not flashy, just clean and sharp — and the LED daytime running lights and alloy wheels give it a bit of presence on the road. The estate body means it’s got plenty of boot space, which is perfect if you’ve got kids, a dog, or just a lot of stuff to carry around.

Inside, it’s not too cramped. The seats are comfy, especially the front ones — adjustable and heated, which is a real plus on long drives. The dashboard is easy to navigate, and there’s plenty of storage tucked in where you’ll actually use it. The audio system is decent, and I’ve got Bluetooth so I don’t have to fumble with my phone when I’m driving.

Under the hood, it’s a hybrid 1.8 litre engine — 136 bhp — and it’s actually quite quiet in traffic. The CVT means no jolts, just smooth acceleration. Fuel efficiency is solid, especially in city driving, and it’s a lot quieter than a regular petrol car when you’re stuck in traffic.

I’ve had it serviced regularly, last one at 47,000 miles, and I’ve got both keys and a full Toyota service history. It’s been through the RAC inspection, so it’s backed up with warranty and everything’s been checked properly.

I live in Shipley, Saltaire, so it’s a bit of a drive from where I’m based, but I’m happy to chat or meet up if you’re interested. It’s not the most flashy car, but it’s reliable, practical, and actually quite pleasant to drive — especially for someone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on fuel or maintenance.

Price is £8,545.50 — I’ll keep it in mind if you’re thinking about it. Otherwise, it’s just a solid car I’ve kept for a few years and am now ready to part with.

If you’re looking for something dependable with a bit of style and low running costs, this one might be worth a look. Let me know if you’d like to see it or talk through it — happy to share more.
