Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 18 years old and 301,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is a first‑generation Auris (E150 family) diesel in manual form — common engines are the 1.4 D‑4D and the 2.0 D‑4D, both simple and widely supported in Ireland. Diesel models are economical on long runs but can show EGR/DPF/turbo carbon build-up if mostly used for short urban trips; manual clutches are common to replace on high-mileage examples. Parts and independent garages are easy to find, so routine repairs are usually straightforward and affordable.
- DPF and EGR condition — check for soot build-up, warning lights and whether the car completes regeneration (especially if it did lots of short trips).
- Turbo health and boost leaks — look for smoke at start/acceleration and oil in the intercooler/pipes.
- Clutch and gearbox feel — test for slipping, heavy engagement or crunching gears (manual clutches often need replacement on older diesels).
- Underbody and rear arches for corrosion, plus suspension bushes and shock absorbers for wear or knocks.
- Service history for regular oil changes and injector/glow plug work; scan for stored engine fault codes before purchase.
