2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA16 ACU

The 2016 Toyota Auris demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-17 at 37,771 miles, which passed with no defects. The prior 2024-07-16 test, recorded as both passed and failed on the same date, is contradictory but shows no defects in either instance. Earlier tests from 2023 and 2022 also passed without issues, indicating consistent compliance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 37,771 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 3,777 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage implies infrequent operation, which can lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation if not regularly driven. The MOT history lacks gaps, with annual tests from 2022 to 2025, but the 2024-07-16 entry’s conflicting pass/fail status requires clarification. Despite this, the absence of defects in all recorded tests suggests no immediate mechanical risks. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, seized suspension bushes, or corrosion in unexposed areas. While the MOT record shows no brake or exhaust issues, the low mileage may mask wear in components like brake discs or clutch plates. A thorough check of the underbody for rust and a test drive to assess steering, suspension, and gearshift smoothness is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond MOT compliance.
