2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · WT16 GOX

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preventative consumable attention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 66,476 miles flagged an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven outer wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or worn component that was not addressed between the clean records seen in late 2022 and 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of tests between August 2024 and September 2024, where the car covered only 180 miles in two months, suggesting a period of low use or sale preparation. Since the October 2025 test, the vehicle has covered roughly 3,500 miles. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain but increases the risk of rubber components degrading or seizing over time. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry to address the recurring issues noted in November 2023 at 60,642 miles, where the nearside front suspension arm ball joint showed play. The uneven tyre wear reported in the 2025 advisory suggests that the ball joint or tracking arm may now require replacement to prevent further tyre damage. A physical check of the brake discs and calipers is also advised, as the low mileage usage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion or sticking brake components.
