2016 Toyota Auris 1.2L Petrol · YF16 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive upkeep regarding consumable components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 64,060 miles passed despite a failure for front tyres being close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both edges. This mirrors a defect seen in May 2021 at 26,854 miles, where the offside front tyre was flagged for similar edge wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2022 and March 2023, where the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in eleven months. However, the usage became more regular in 2024, with two tests conducted in June and October covering only 433 miles between them. This recent testing interval suggests the vehicle may have been used for very short urban trips recently or that the owner decided to be more proactive with annual inspections. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment personally, as the recurring edge wear on the tyres indicates potential issues with worn control arm bushes, incorrect camber settings, or tracking geometry. The parking brake failure in March 2023 at 47,094 miles for excessive lever movement and low efficiency was resolved before the subsequent pass, but the mechanism should be tested to ensure the adjustment holds firmly without slipping or binding calipers. Beyond these items, the record shows no history of structural corrosion or serious mechanical defects.
