2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · GY66 AVM

The 2016 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 32,883 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage has remained consistently low against the vehicle's ten-year age. From the 25 October 2021 test at 23,828 miles to the 23 October 2025 test at 32,883 miles, the car covered just 9,055 miles over four years, an average of roughly 2,264 miles per year. The record shows no gaps in testing and no sudden accumulation of distance, with each October examination logging incremental use of between 2,000 and 2,900 miles. Such light annual running suggests gentle use, though prolonged standing between short journeys can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen by the tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low-use profile. Standing vehicles frequently suffer from seized calipers and flat-spotted tyres that a pass with no defects will not capture if wear sits below the fail threshold. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to track, but the DVSA test examines only visible condition on the day. Examine the underside for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify the exhaust emissions have not drifted through infrequent warm-up cycles. The clean record implies prior owners kept basic statutory compliance current, yet low mileage alone does not certify component longevity. Pre-purchase checks on fluid condition and tyre sidewall cracking remain prudent.
