2010 Toyota Auris 1.4L Diesel · FL10 XNF

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 6 October 2025 at 105,771 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The October 2025 pass came only three days after a failure on 3 October 2025 at 105,730 miles, yet the tester logged no defects on either entry. This pattern repeats from the prior year, where a pass on 21 October 2024 at 101,974 miles followed a failure on 11 October 2024 at 101,944 miles, again with no defects recorded. Such back-to-back failures without listed faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical deterioration. The mileage shows consistent low annual use for a 2010 vehicle. From the 9 October 2023 test at 98,300 miles, the car covered just 3,674 miles to the October 2024 tests near 101,944 miles, then 3,797 miles to the October 2025 tests at 105,730 to 105,771 miles. That averages roughly 3,700 miles per year across the recorded span, well below the 6,611 miles per year norm for its age. The sparse three-year record with clean passes between the curious failures gives little evidence of neglect, though the gaps leave suspension and underbody condition unobserved for long stretches. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, since MOT entries carry no advisories to confirm those areas. The repeated failure-then-pass cycles with zero defects mean the DVSA log offers no warning on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, so these consumable and structural items need hands-on checks. Given the car stood relatively unused, seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres from long parking are worth examining despite the clean record.
