2016 TOYOTA AURIS1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 31,095 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently passed its inspections without recording mechanical advisories. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of specific recorded defects on those failure entries suggests these may have been administrative or minor issues that were rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,110 miles annually. Between March 2024 at 24,672 miles and March 2025 at 28,065 miles, the car covered only 3,393 miles in a year. This consistent low usage indicates light travel, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, such low mileage over a decade can sometimes lead to secondary issues like the degradation of rubber components and fluids that do not benefit from regular movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage storage conditions. Specifically, check for dry sidewalling or perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and surface rust on brake discs resulting from infrequent use. Since the MOT record shows no structural corrosion advisories, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but verifying that the suspension bushes have not cracked from age remains advisable. The clean history suggests a vehicle that has been well-kept despite its limited time on the road.
