2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN66 FHL

The 2016 Toyota Auris presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 4 October 2025 at 284,217 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in October 2024 at 247,571 miles and September 2023 at 210,704 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 25 September 2023 at 210,703 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or pre-check failure rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid examination for three consecutive years. Mileage stands at 284,217 against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 28,400 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 184,844 in September 2022 to 210,704 by September 2023, then to 247,571 in October 2024 and 284,217 by October 2025. Annual accumulation held near 36,000 to 37,000 miles across the later period, reflecting sustained high-use motorway or fleet-style operation. The MOT data shows no gaps longer than thirteen months, and the sparse advisory field suggests either diligent pre-test preparation or light reporting by testing stations. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the elevated mileage. High annual distances accelerate wear on dampers, track rod ends, and flexible brake hoses that a pass with no advisories may not expose. The clean record offers no recurring fault pattern to track, but the 2023 duplicate entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect. Given the absent advisories across five tests, previous keepers likely maintained basic consumables. The high mileage demands verification of cambelt interval, clutch bite, and gearbox condition, none of which the MOT assesses. Treat the clean history as a baseline, not a substitute for a mechanical appraisal before purchase.
