2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · AB56 BAK

The 2012 Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 112,655 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,000 miles, typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 103,065 miles in February 2022, 105,537 in February 2023, 108,124 in February 2024, 110,103 in February 2025, and 112,655 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across every test means no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion were ever raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. Five consecutive passes with zero advisories is unusual for a car of this age and may reflect a low-stress commuting profile rather than deep mechanical proof. Examine brake discs and calipers for latent binding, check coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue not yet caught by the tester, and inspect sills and subframes for structural rust given the vehicle's 2012 build date. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes confirm minimum legal condition only. Verify service history independently and confirm cambelt or chain interval compliance before purchase.
