2017 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP17 LNW

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 23 April 2025 at 42,675 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the most recent test indicates the Auris currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. The record shows a resolving trend of mechanical issues, as the 2023 failure at 33,231 miles was immediately rectified and passed on the same day, with no subsequent faults recorded. The recorded mileage of 42,675 miles over nine years equates to roughly 4,742 miles annually, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history confirms this gentle usage pattern, showing a steady but slow accumulation of miles. Between the May 2022 test at 27,963 miles and the April 2024 test at 37,606 miles, the car covered just under 10,000 miles over two years. Mileage then plateaued entirely, recording exactly 42,675 miles in April 2025, identical to the current reading, suggesting the vehicle has remained stationary or seen extremely minimal use over the past fourteen months. Despite the pristine MOT record, prolonged stationary periods can cause specific mechanical issues not always captured during a standard test. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly, looking for sidewall cracking or flat spots from standing in one position. Brake discs may exhibit surface corrosion from lack of use, which can cause temporary binding or juddering until cleaned. Suspension components, particularly bushes and shock absorbers, should be checked for deterioration. The exact duplication of the 42,675-mile reading between the 2025 test and today warrants verification to confirm the mileage is genuine and the vehicle has not been standing idle for an extended duration.
