2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · FN16 FSF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 25 February 2026 at 148,989 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes following immediate re-test failures. While the record shows failures in both October 2025 and February 2026, the subsequent rectification of these issues suggests the owner is reactive to MOT-related defects to maintain legal operation. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,900 miles per year. There is a significant surge of 21,210 miles recorded between the April 2025 test at 113,190 miles and the October 2025 test at 134,400 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy long-distance driving which places accelerated wear on drivetrain-related components and suspension assemblies. The consistent intervals between the last three tests indicate the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify excessive play or leaks. The braking system should also be scrutinized for uneven pad wear or caliper caliper binding, as high-frequency use often leads to thermal fatigue. While the recent records show no structural defects, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion consistent with the vehicle's age and exposure to the elements.
