2012 Toyota Auris 1.8L Other · FN12 JWW

The Toyota Auris presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 20 September 2025 at 100,320 miles recording no defects. The test history shows two paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates, specifically 23 September 2023 at 93,187 miles and 20 September 2025 at 100,320 miles, yet the DVSA data lists no defects against either failure. This pattern implies administrative or presentation anomalies in the record rather than mechanical rejection, with the vehicle clearing every examination once processed. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 registration, totalling 100,320 miles or roughly 7,166 miles per year. The odometer moved from 93,187 miles at the September 2023 test to 96,433 miles by September 2024, then to 100,320 miles by September 2025. Annual use of around 3,000 to 4,000 miles across those years confirms light, consistent operation with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps in testing. The clean advisory and defect history across all five entries suggests previous owners maintained the car to a basic pass standard, though the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion does not confirm their condition. A buyer should physically inspect front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and subframe areas for structural rust given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and UK winter road salt exposure. Verify the twin fail-and-pass logs with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data, and commission a independent compression and emissions check on the 1.3 or 1.6 petrol unit if fitted. The low mileage masks potential perished rubber mounts or binding calipers from prolonged standing that a static MOT may not capture.
