2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG62 XMD

This Toyota Auris presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 96,107 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,865 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, increasing from 77,705 miles in November 2022 to 96,107 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record is unusually devoid of common age related failures. While the vehicle failed a test on 7 October 2022, the record shows no specific defects were logged for that failure, and it passed a retest just one month later at the same mileage. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last four years indicates a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that only manifest during a road test. Check for any signs of structural corrosion on the underbody and sills, as these are common weak points for vehicles of this vintage regardless of a clean test sheet. Verify the condition of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness to ensure these consumables have been replaced recently, as the lack of advisories suggests they are currently within legal limits but does not confirm their remaining life.
