2012 Toyota Auris Colour COL-ON Valvematic 1.6L Petrol · RNZ 8029

The Toyota Auris presents as roadworthy following the 20 December 2025 MOT test at 129,799 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend across the supplied records stays stable, with every examination from June 2022 onward showing clean results apart from an anomalous failure on 6 December 2025 at 129,456 miles that listed no defects. That immediate re-test pass two weeks later suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, though the buyer must confirm the reason with DVSA paperwork. Recorded mileage tracks closely with the vehicle's fourteen-year age, averaging roughly 9,271 miles per year. The odometer moved from 99,959 miles at the 4 June 2022 test to 110,190 miles by 8 August 2023, then to 118,530 miles on 16 July 2024, and reached 129,456 miles by the 6 December 2025 failure before climbing only 343 miles to the pass fourteen days later. No rapid accumulation or standing stagnation appears in the data. The supplied history covers just five tests over three and a half years and shows zero advisories, indicating either diligent upkeep or simply a low-fault platform, but earlier years remain unprovided. With no defects or advisories logged across any test, the record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. Nevertheless, a 2012 hatchback approaching 130,000 miles demands a physical inspection of coil springs, steering joints, and brake disc thickness to confirm the clean MOT entries reflect reality. The examiner should also check underside corrosion and tailpipe emissions at cold start, as age-related degradation often escapes detection until later tests.
