2002 TOYOTA AVENSIS1.8L Petrol

The 2026-02-13 MOT at 140,499 miles passed, but recorded advisories on near and offside rear inner suspension mounting corrosion, indicating ongoing structural concerns despite no major defects. The maintenance trend is not improving; recurring corrosion and previous failures on brake pipes and suspension suggest persistent issues rather than resolution. The 2002 model has accumulated 140,499 miles over 24 years, averaging 5,854 miles per year, which is low and suggests periods of limited use. Mileage jumps were modest until 2020, after which annual increments fell to around 3,000–4,000 miles, with a brief 3,405‑mile increase between 2020 and 2021, indicating the car has been relatively idle in recent years. A buyer should examine the condition of the rear brake lines for rust, test brake pedal feel for binding, inspect the rear suspension mounting brackets and wheel arches for excessive corrosion, verify structural integrity of the sills, and check tyre tread and sidewall condition, as tyre wear has been noted as close to legal limits on multiple occasions.
