2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · LL16 LHO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention regarding suspension and braking components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 63,001 miles flagged worn bushes on both front-side lower suspension arms and the rear bush. While the vehicle passed, the persistence of these suspension issues since early 2025 indicates that rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life without having been proactively replaced. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 36,148 miles and January 2026 at 63,001 miles, the car covered 26,853 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, though the significant gap between the 2023 and 2026 tests shows the vehicle was driven over long intervals, which can sometimes contribute to the corrosion of brake components despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring history of worn arm bushes across multiple years. The 2024 failure for a worn inner brake disc followed by the 2025 advisory for thin rear pads and binding calipers suggests that the braking system is only addressed when failure is imminent. You should verify that the binding rear caliper has been serviced and check the front discs for uneven wear or heavy pitting, as the previous records indicate significant degradation in these areas.
