2012 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · LO62 AEK

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the most recent test, a pass recorded on 16 December 2025 at 83,126 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The only anomaly is the duplicate 16 December 2025 entry where a fail was logged at the same mileage with no defects recorded, an administrative quirk rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a 2012 vehicle, totalling 83,126 miles or about 5,938 per year. The records show steady annual use: 52,879 miles at the 30 December 2023 test, 68,298 at the failed 23 December 2024 attempt, 68,328 at the pass four days later, then 83,126 by December 2025. The jump from 68k to 83k in twelve months is the largest single-year gain, yet still modest. The sparse three-year trail with clean results gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. The 23 and 27 December 2024 tests bookend a fail and pass at near-identical mileages with no defects cited, pointing to a paperwork or system error at the testing station rather than owner neglect. No recurring problems appear in the advisories or failures, so the Auris shows no worsening pattern in coil springs, binding calipers, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the suspension mounts and brake condition, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage can mask standing-time degradation. Verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the duplicate 2025 entries are clerical, not a cloned record.
