2016 Toyota Auris 1.6 D-4D Diesel Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — it’s been my daily driver, mostly, and I’ve had it through a couple of seasons of winter and summer, no major issues. Only one previous owner, and it’s had a full 12-month MOT, so it’s been well looked after.

It’s got a solid 1.6-litre diesel engine, 112ps, and a manual gearbox — not flashy, but it’s smooth and gets great mileage. I’ve kept it clean and low on long trips, so it’s still in good shape.

The interior is practical — leather gear knob, heated mirrors, good sound system with Bluetooth and USB, and a 7-inch touchscreen. It’s got all the modern safety stuff too: ABS, brake assist, traction control, airbags front and side, even a reversing camera. The 17-inch alloy wheels look decent too, and the dashboard is clean, not worn out.

I’m selling it because I’ve moved to Ambleside, Westmorland and Furness and I’m not using it much anymore. I’ve had it for a while, so it’s not brand new, but it’s been well maintained.

Road tax for the year is £20 — that’s included. There’s also a 6-month warranty and full breakdown cover, so if anything goes wrong, I’ve got that covered. I’ll arrange local delivery — just say the word.

Driveaway insurance is subject to age, but I’ll help with that if needed.

It’s not a luxury car, but it’s reliable, economical, and just about everything you’d want in a practical hatchback. I’m not putting a lot of effort into marketing it — just selling it as it is. If you’re looking for something dependable and low-maintenance, this might be your kind of car.

Price is £5,395.50 — I’ll be honest, that’s not a huge sum for a car with this kind of history. But it’s what I’ve been thinking is fair.
