2016 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YP16 WMA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 139,856 miles resulted in a pass, though it highlighted a defect regarding an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound enough for certification, basic consumable maintenance regarding tyre condition was not addressed immediately prior to the inspection. The mileage pattern reflects high-frequency consistent use, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum over the decade-long life. A significant surge in usage occurred between June 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered 26,902 miles in just thirteen months. This rate of rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mile vehicles. However, the lack of recorded defects or advisories between 2021 and 2024 tests suggests the structural integrity and primary components have remained robust despite the high mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the uneven wear noted on the offside tyre often points to alignment issues or worn ball joints and bushes. Given the high mileage of nearly 140,000 miles, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding is also necessary. While the MOT record does not show recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the intensive usage justifies a physical inspection of the rubber bushings and exhaust hangers to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
