2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · FN16 GPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on 30 May 2026 at 283,165 miles, it failed just one day prior with multiple significant defects. The presence of a severely deteriorated front CV boot, worn front suspension arm bushes, and pitted rear brake discs suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach the point of inspection failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. This Toyota Auris shows exceptionally high mileage for its age, averaging approximately 28,300 miles per year. Between April 2025 at 245,606 miles and May 2026 at 283,165 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 38,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places immense mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The frequency of failures suggests the vehicle is likely used for heavy long-distance or commercial purposes, which accelerates the natural wear of consumable items and rubber components. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints. The 2026 failure regarding the offside front Macpherson strut top mount indicates the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its service life. The braking system shows a history of imbalance and inefficiency, with failures noted in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the CV boots for further leaks and an evaluation of the parking brake mechanism is essential to avoid immediate mechanical failure.
