2016 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · GD16 PBF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by its most recent pass on 22 May 2026 at 100,949 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addressed recurring minor faults identified during annual testing. While the car failed its test in May 2023 due to headlamp alignment and minor mechanical issues, subsequent passes indicate that these specific defects were rectified to meet minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 72,581 miles in May 2023 to 92,282 miles in May 2025, reaching the current 100,949 miles in the most recent entry. This regular usage suggests typical operation rather than long periods of stationary storage, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components and braking systems. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension system, as the offside rear shock absorber showed light misting of oil in 2023 and the nearside was flagged with the same issue in 2025. While light misting is not an immediate failure, it indicates the start of seal degradation which will eventually require replacement. The buyer should also verify the windscreen, as damage has been a recurring advisory in every test since 2023, suggesting the glass is prone to chipping or has not been fully replaced.
