2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · KA53 YAH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement over the last four years. The most recent test in June 2025 at 43,492 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre. This follows a period of two clean records in 2023 and 2024, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per annum. Data shows significant gaps in usage between September 2021 and September 2022, where the car covered only 4,069 miles in a year. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion, as evidenced by the cracking noted in the 2025 inspection. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The records from 2021 and 2022 highlighted thin pads and pitted discs across both the front and rear. Although these appear to have been replaced given the clean results in subsequent tests, the low usage frequency can cause brake calipers to seize or discs to rust heavily if not used regularly. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be verified, as the 2025 advisory for perishing suggests the rubber is reaching its chemical limit before tread depth limits.
