2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · EN16 JFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding minor wear items. The most recent test in October 2025 at 110,592 miles revealed multiple advisories related to braking, suspension, and lighting. While the vehicle passed, the presence of worn brake discs, thin pads, and misting shock absorbers suggests that components are reaching the stage of requiring proactive replacement to prevent future failures. The recorded mileage of 110,592 miles over ten years is consistent with average UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. However, there is a significant gap in testing data between February 2024 (63,492 miles) and October 2025 (110,592 miles), representing over 47,000 miles driven between tests. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear noted on the brakes and tyres in the latest inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as rear pads have been flagged for thinning twice (in 2022 at 52,395 miles and again in 2025 at 110,592 miles), and both front and rear discs are now noted as worn. The light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber should be monitored closely, as this indicates a developing seal failure that will eventually require replacement. Additionally, the uneven wear on the rear tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry that should be verified to avoid further tyre degradation.
