2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Other · FH12 AEE

The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2 April 2025 at 144,818 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This represents a stable and positive maintenance trend over the last three years. While the record shows initial failures in 2023 and 2024, these instances lacked specific defect descriptions, suggesting they were likely administrative errors or minor rectifications performed on-site rather than systemic mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 144,818 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,344 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical private motoring and indicates regular, steady operation rather than long periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistency of the annual testing intervals confirms the car has remained in active service throughout its life, with the current test valid until April 2026. Despite the clean MOT history, prospective buyers must perform a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas that fall outside the scope of a basic test. Focus your assessment on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often show fatigue at this mileage. Inspect the brake discs for signs of scoring or uneven wear, and check the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframe. Given the age and mileage, verify the service history for evidence of clutch or drivetrain maintenance, as these items are not covered by the MOT and represent the most likely source of future expenditure.
