2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · CY16 FNT

The 2016 Toyota Auris presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 42,702 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five available records, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime during this period. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 23,680 miles at the 4 June 2021 test, rising to 29,216 by 9 June 2022, then 36,557 on 31 May 2023, 38,473 on 17 May 2024, and 42,702 by September 2025. This equates to roughly 4,270 miles per year against the age of the car. The gaps between tests are narrow and consistent, with no abrupt accumulation or missing years, and the DVSA data itself is sparse in faults rather than sparse in coverage. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage combined with the 2021 to 2022 jump of over 5,500 miles suggests some standing periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize or suspension bushes to degrade through inactivity rather than wear. The absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust advisories is reassuring, but Toyota Auris rear coil springs and subframe mounts warrant a visual check for structural rust given the vehicle's age. Given the fault-free history, focus the viewing on tyre sidewall condition, brake disc surface pitting from disuse, and confirmation that the odometer aligns with the 42,702-mile DVSA figure. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard for MOT compliance, with no evidence of deferred consumable neglect or serious mechanical risk in the official record.
