2012 Toyota Auris 1.3L Petrol · VF12 KVG

The 2010 Toyota Auris' most recent MOT test on 2024-01-18 at 97,772 miles indicates a generally stable roadworthiness status, albeit with some advisories. The vehicle passed, but with noted issues such as a rusty rear exhaust box flange, corroded offside rear brake pipe, and worn suspension arm bushes. This pattern suggests a trend of manageable wear and tear, rather than worsening or catastrophic failures. The recorded mileage of 97,772 miles over 16 years, or approximately 6,111 miles per year, aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of its age. A closer look reveals a relatively consistent mileage accumulation, with no notable gaps or periods of rapid mileage accumulation evident from the provided data. The most recent test occurred nearly two and a half years ago; given the vehicle's age and mileage, it would be prudent for the buyer to request an update or inspect the vehicle in person. The recurring faults and structural components flagged in the history warrant closer inspection. The buyer should examine the suspension, particularly the front lower arm rear bushes, which have been noted as worn or perished. Brake system components, including the offside rear brake pipe, which has shown corrosion, should be scrutinized for signs of wear or damage. Additionally, the exhaust system, specifically the rear exhaust box flange and joints, which have exhibited corrosion, should be evaluated for integrity and potential leaks. A thorough inspection of these areas will provide a clearer understanding of the vehicle's current condition and potential maintenance needs. In person, the buyer should verify the current condition of these components and assess whether any necessary repairs or replacements have been undertaken. This hands-on evaluation will enable a more informed decision regarding the vehicle's roadworthiness and value.
