2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · GY66 AAF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 September 2025 at 25,928 miles returned no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history where the vehicle has consistently met all DVSA safety standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 15,237 miles and September 2025 at 25,928 miles, the car covered only 10,691 miles. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short-distance trips or has remained stationary for extended periods. While the clean record suggests the low mileage has minimized wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long stationary periods and low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to oxidation that even a MOT test might not fully penalize. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot, as rubber materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the age and condition of the tyres, as low-mileage cars often retain old rubber that lacks grip despite having tread depth.
