2016 Toyota Auris 1.6L Diesel · FA16 KUT

The vehicle demonstrates a highly consistent and positive roadworthiness trend, having secured five consecutive clean passes without a single advisory or failure. The most recent test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 86,998 miles confirms the car remains in excellent mechanical health. This streak of defect-free inspections indicates that the previous owners have adhered to a proactive maintenance schedule, addressing potential issues before they escalated into formal test failures. The current mileage of 86,998 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 8,700 miles per annum, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage patterns. The progression of the odometer readings across the last five years shows steady, predictable accumulation, suggesting the vehicle has been used for regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This consistent usage profile is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished rubber seals due to prolonged inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the consumable components that are not always captured by the MOT test, such as the clutch bite point and the state of the drivetrain fluids. Given the clean history, the primary concerns shift to age-related degradation of rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and the condition of the underbody. While the MOT records show no structural corrosion, a visual check of the chassis rails and sills remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age. The absence of recurring faults suggests a well-maintained example, but verifying the service history documentation for oil changes and filter replacements will provide the final confirmation needed for a confident purchase.
