2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · OW16 WDZ

The 2016 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 47,161 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations. Across the full history from 29 July 2021 through to 2025, the vehicle cleared every MOT without a single advisory or failure, which indicates consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical condition. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 30,039 miles at the 2021 test, rising to 34,991 by 5 August 2022, 39,984 by 31 July 2023, 44,088 by 15 July 2024, and 47,161 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 4,700 miles added each year, well below the national average. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer advanced steadily and the sparse, clean ledger gives no cause for concern over skipped testing. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the flawless record. Low annual mileage and probable periods of standing can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, sills, and suspension mounting points even when the tester logged no advisories. Examine the subframe, coil spring seats, and brake calipers for seizing after disuse, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not perished from age rather than wear. Given the absence of any flagged faults across five years, no recurring defect trend exists to track. The Auris stands as a low-risk purchase on paper, but an independent check of underside rust, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition remains sensible before completion.
