2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YK16 AAH

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the November 2025 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. On 2025-11-18 the tester passed the Auris at 151,679 miles recording no defects. Earlier that same day a failure was logged at 151,674 miles with no defects noted, mirroring an identical pattern on 2025-06-24 when a failure at 151,660 miles preceded a pass at the same mileage. These anomalous failures without recorded faults suggest administrative or procedural retries rather than escalating mechanical concerns. The 2024-07-09 test passed cleanly at 150,217 miles. At roughly ten years old the Auris shows 151,679 miles, equating to about 15,168 miles per year and placing it above average use for its age. The records reveal a pronounced slowdown in accumulation. Between 2024-07-09 and 2025-06-24 the car covered only 1,443 miles. From the June 2025 pass to the November 2025 pass just 19 miles were added. This sparse, recent low-mileage pattern implies the vehicle stood largely idle in its final recorded year, despite a high lifetime total. The MOT history itself is brief, with merely five entries and no advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements given the high overall mileage and prolonged storage. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, yet components unseen in a clean MOT can degrade with age. We recommend scrutinising subframe corrosion, checking for binding rear calipers after standing, and measuring brake disc wear. The duplicated same-day fail-pass cycles warrant verification of the DVSA failure reasons to rule out suppressed electrical or emissions faults not transcribed in the supplied record.
