2016 TOYOTA AURIS1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. While the record for 16 October 2025 at 60,204 miles initially shows a failure, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor, non-structural defect that was quickly rectified by the owner. Since October 2023, the car has consistently passed without recorded defects, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep over recent years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,533 miles between the October 2023 test at 33,355 miles and the November 2024 test at 39,888 miles, followed by a sharper increase of 20,316 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. The lower total mileage suggests less overall wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or fluid degradation. Because the MOT history shows no structural issues or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear rather than high-mileage stress. Check for corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, which can often affect vehicles that are not used frequently. Given the recent spike in mileage over the last year, verify the condition of the tyres and shock absorbers to ensure the increased usage has not caused premature uneven wear or leaks.
