2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · FP16 NWT

The 2016 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 23,244 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 23,244 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,324 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady, low annual accumulation: 18,935 miles on 10 June 2022, 20,357 on 9 June 2023, 21,848 on 5 June 2024, and 23,244 on 5 June 2025. The only anomaly is a duplicate 10 June 2022 entry showing both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Such sparse, clean data implies the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a rigid annual test schedule. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low mileage and long standing periods can mask perished rubber components, degraded suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on structural underbody members that a pass with no advisories will not capture. Brake discs and calipers may show rust binding from disuse rather than wear. Verify the duplicate 2022 failure was clerical by checking the DVLA portal. Otherwise, prioritise checks on tyre sidewall condition, handbrake efficiency, and exhaust emissions during a cold start, as these areas degrade silently on a car driven this little.
