2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH16 NKL

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, passing its MOT tests consistently without recorded defects. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 86,554 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating the Auris currently meets all roadworthiness standards. A notable anomaly exists in the record for that exact date, however. A failed test at 89,554 miles also shows no recorded defects. This discrepancy suggests an administrative error, a failed re-test logged incorrectly, or a failure due to an unrecorded reason, warranting clarification from the seller. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle. Between 20 June 2022 at 62,668 miles and 13 June 2024 at 81,025 miles, the car covered roughly 18,357 miles over two years, averaging just over 9,000 miles annually. The jump from 81,025 miles in June 2024 to 86,554 miles in June 2025 represents 5,529 miles of use, confirming consistent, low-mileage driving rather than prolonged periods of standing. The 3,000-mile discrepancy between the two 25 June 2025 entries remains the sole irregularity in an otherwise linear and predictable odometer progression. Given the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, the record implies a previous owner who maintained the vehicle adequately, though the lack of minor wear items like worn tyres or brake pads in the history is unusually clean for 86,000 miles. A physical inspection must focus on components that typically degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion common on vehicles covering short distances. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as these areas deteriorate regardless of a spotless MOT defect history.
