2016 TOYOTA AURIS1.8L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The Toyota Auris presents a stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. On 8 August 2025 at 37,677 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, though an anomalous failure on the same date with no defects listed suggests an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Prior tests show consecutive passes without advisories, indicating the upkeep has been consistent. The recorded odometer readings reveal a low-usage profile consistent with the vehicle's age. In the 3 August 2022 test at 25,426 miles, the car then recorded 29,154 miles on 8 August 2023, 33,300 miles on 9 August 2024, and 37,677 miles on 8 August 2025. This equates to roughly 3,700 to 4,400 miles added each year, a gentle accumulation that points to light domestic use. No gaps exceed twelve months between tests, and the sparse but clean record shows no rapid mileage spikes or neglected intervals. Despite the absence of flagged faults, the buyer should physically verify components the MOT does not always capture in detail. The tester issued no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet low annual mileage and possible standing periods can mask perished rubber or slight structural rust. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, check brake calipers for binding after inactivity, and examine tyre sidewalls for cracking. The repeated clean passes imply the previous keeper addressed any required work promptly, though the same-day fail without defects hints at a procedural quirk rather than skipped maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity.
