2017 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · SL17 BYV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on January 14, 2026, at 64,873 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, despite a minor initial failure on that same day due to non-functional stop lamps. This failure represents a simple bulb replacement that was rectified immediately. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained clean records for several years, suggesting that primary mechanical and structural components remained within tolerance during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,000 miles between January 2024 and 2025. This low-intensity usage suggests light annual mileage, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system components compared to high-mileage urban run. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres closely, as the January 2025 test at 60,243 miles flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside rear and offside front tyres. Given the low mileage, this indicates the rubber is likely degrading due to age rather than tread wear. While the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or brake components, a physical inspection should verify that other rubber elements, such as suspension boots and wipers, have not become brittle from periods of standing or low use.
