2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BJ16 ABU

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 27 July 2026 at 208,396 miles, which returned no defects. While the most recent result is positive, the maintenance trend shows intermittent issues with consumables and minor mechanical components. The record fluctuates between clean passes and advisory-heavy tests, suggesting a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 20,840 miles per year over the ten-year period. This high usage is evident in the rapid progression between tests, such as the 33,000-mile increase recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. Such heavy annual mileage places substantial stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The data shows consistent annual testing, which provides a reliable longitudinal view of the vehicle's condition despite the high usage. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The August 2025 test flagged a damaged offside front anti-roll bar, and the August 2024 test identified worn, pitted, or scored brake discs at both the front and rear. Although these issues appear resolved in the latest 2026 pass, the history of pitted discs and suspension component damage warrants a close check of the bushings, dampers, and overall chassis integrity. Tyre management also shows a pattern of neglect. The vehicle failed in August 2021 due to a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre and received advisories for perishing and cracking on both rear tyres in August 2025. These recurring issues with tyre condition and edge wear suggest that the previous owners occasionally deferred basic consumable replacements. Inspecting the current tread depth and checking for sidewall cracking or uneven wear is essential.
