2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LM16 WDU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 51,008 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. This trend persists across the last five years, suggesting the car has operated without significant mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 41,361 miles and November 2025 at 51,008 miles, the car covered under 10,000 miles. This low-usage pattern generally implies reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components compared to average examples. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake fluid moisture, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components that age with time rather than distance. A buyer should check the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished rubber due to the low mileage. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for pitting and ensure calipers have not seized from disuse. Given the clean history, the structural integrity appears sound, but a visual check of the sills and underbody remains necessary to confirm no hidden corrosion has developed.
