2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BX16 AEU

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on its most recent MOT pass on 29 May 2025. The maintenance trend is exceptionally consistent, with the car passing four consecutive tests without a single defect or advisory recorded. This lack of noted failures suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very robust mechanical state for a vehicle of this age. The mileage is high for a ten year old car, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, though there was a notable increase between 18 May 2022 at 125,106 miles and 9 May 2023 at 141,951 miles, representing nearly 17,000 miles covered in a single year. Since then, the annual distance has settled to approximately 7,000 miles per year, as seen in the jump to 155,286 miles by May 2025. Despite the clean MOT record, the high total mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade under the stress of 155,000 miles regardless of test outcomes. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to determine if they are nearing the end of their service life. Inspection of the underside for surface corrosion is advised, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, the high mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine mounts have seen significant use. A manual check for oil leaks or unusual transmission noise would complement the clean official history.
