2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Electric · FH61 DFZ

The 2012 Toyota Auris presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 22 January 2026 at 61,770 miles. The tester recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. This unblemished record across multiple consecutive years demonstrates consistent mechanical reliability and diligent upkeep from the previous keeper. The recorded mileage of 61,770 miles equates to an average annual usage of roughly 4,412 miles over the vehicle's fourteen-year lifespan, which is exceptionally low. Analyzing the chronological data reveals a remarkably consistent accumulation rate. Between 20 January 2022 at 52,286 miles and 22 January 2026 at 61,770 miles, the car covered just 9,484 miles over four years. The yearly increments remain steady, fluctuating only slightly between 1,551 miles and 2,930 miles per annum, with no sudden spikes or suspicious mileage gaps that might indicate a rolling back or prolonged periods of disuse. Despite the flawless MOT history, the exceptionally low mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than use. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as older rubber perishes even with ample tread depth. Suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links may have dried out or hardened over the years. Brake discs and calipers require a thorough check for surface corrosion and potential binding, common issues on vehicles that cover short distances and stand for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody should also be inspected for corrosion, ensuring the structural integrity remains sound despite the low mileage.
