TOYOTA AVENSIS2009 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2009 Toyota Avensis currently stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. In the 12 August 2025 test at 38,317 miles, the examiner passed the vehicle with no defects recorded; that assessment falls roughly eleven months before today's date of 19 July 2026, so the history remains fresh though the next test is due soon. The result extends an unbroken five-year sequence of clean annual certificates from August 2021 onwards. The odometer reads 38,317 miles on a seventeen-year-old saloon, equating to roughly 2,250 miles per year overall. Recorded figures show minimal annual movement: 37,291 miles on 10 August 2021, 37,532 on 11 August 2022, 37,773 on 11 August 2023, 38,003 on 12 August 2024, and 38,317 on 12 August 2025. Such tiny increments point to prolonged storage or infrequent short journeys. No gaps appear in the MOT timeline, and the absence of any advisory across all entries suggests previous owners presented the car to at least the minimum pass threshold without flagged consumable wear. Because the DVSA history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions or structural integrity, the documented mechanical state is sound. The tester flagged no binding calipers or weld issues at any examination. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related degradation typical of low-use vehicles. Standing idle promotes perished rubber mounts, seized brake components and surface rust on sills or subframe despite a clean test. Verify brake line condition, underbody structural integrity and tyre sidewall cracking before committing, as these items fall outside a pass-or-fail snapshot.
