2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Other · FH12 AEC

The vehicle currently meets the required standards, having passed the most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 58,839 miles with no recorded defects. Over the last decade the record shows a pattern of isolated, minor failures that were rectified before the next test, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen to 58,839 miles over fourteen years, averaging roughly 4,200 miles per annum – well below the typical usage for a car of this age. The mileage progression is consistent: from 21,881 miles in June 2015 to 29,896 miles in June 2016 (+8,015 mi), then incremental increases of 5,800 mi, 2,540 mi, 2,735 mi, 3,148 mi, 2,552 mi, 2,897 mi, 2,537 mi, 2,412 mi and finally 4,316 mi to the latest reading. No large gaps or sudden spikes are evident, suggesting modest, regular use. A prospective buyer should verify that the nearside rear position lamp functions correctly, as it failed on 5 September 2024. Inspection of the offside rear brake pipe for corrosion is advisable, given the failure recorded on 7 September 2022. Although the 2020 test noted front inner brake discs with wear and scoring, those discs were not flagged as unsafe; a visual check of all brake discs and pads is prudent. Tyre tread should be examined for edge wear, a condition noted in June 2018, and the windscreen wipers should be tested for effective clearing, following the 22 June 2016 failure. Finally, assess the condition of the registration plates and look for any early signs of structural rust or suspension bush wear, as these areas have occasionally required attention in the MOT history.
