2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric · WN66 XLP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 117,105 miles confirms that corrosion on the front Macpherson struts and a worn offside suspension arm bush remain unresolved. While the car passed, the recurring nature of these advisories across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed when they approach a failure threshold rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 74,978 miles and the March 2026 test at 117,105 miles, the car covered 42,127 miles, maintaining a steady rate of use. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to standard driving rather than long periods of standing, which typically explains the progressive wear on rubber components and metal braking surfaces noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry to determine if the corrosion on the Macpherson struts has progressed beyond surface level. The 2024 failure due to thin brake pads and pitted discs indicates that the braking system has been neglected in cycles, so the buyer should verify the current thickness of all pads and rotors. Furthermore, the inner-edge wear on the front tyres recorded in 2024 points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushings that should be checked to prevent premature tyre degradation.
