2014 Toyota Avensis Icon D-4D 2.0L Diesel · DW13 AJW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 26 February 2026 at 128,703 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a trend of mechanical stability over the last five years. This suggests a diligent maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered 15,646 miles, showing steady usage without neglect. There is a slight gap in records between September 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered roughly 8,400 miles, but the overall pattern remains predictable. This regularity indicates the car has been used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation and brake corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at the 128,000-mile mark. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often reach the end of their life at this mileage. Despite the clean history, checking for thinning brake discs and ensuring the calipers are not binding remains prudent. Given the age of the vehicle, a close check of the chassis for structural integrity is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed between the inspections.
