2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · LL16 LHM

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable component replacement. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 87,084 miles was a pass, the tester flagged thin front brake pads, lipped discs, and both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This represents a regression from the clean record seen in 2023, indicating that the current owner is only addressing faults upon inspection failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. The intervals between tests are regular, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025, and another 8,200 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This steady usage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally explains the gradual degradation of the brake surfaces and rubber components noted in the history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a recurring history of pitting, scoring, and thinning across both front and rear axles since 2021. The uneven edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2025 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require checking to avoid further premature tyre failure. Additionally, the discoloured side repeaters are a minor cosmetic defect, but the focus should remain on the fact that the vehicle is due for a significant service to replace the worn front components and tyres.
