2016 Toyota Auris Business Edition VVT-I 1.2L Petrol · GY66 AUW

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 January 2026 at 36,945 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is very low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 3,694 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, moving from 18,874 miles in January 2022 to 36,945 miles by January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or undisclosed heavy use. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes can seize when a car is not driven frequently. The tyres should be checked for age-related cracking or flat spots, even if the tread depth remains legal. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts can perish over time regardless of mileage. I recommend a manual check of these items and a verification of the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed at the required intervals, as low-mileage owners often mistakenly skip scheduled maintenance.
