1999 TOYOTA AVENSIS1.8L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2008-04-29 recorded a pass with a note that the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. However, a prior failed MOT on 2008-04-23—just six days earlier—revealed multiple issues: a non-working nearside registration plate lamp, relative movement in both steering arms at their fixings, and the same tyre wear. These findings suggest persistent mechanical and safety concerns, particularly with steering components and tyre condition. A pattern of recurring steering-related defects emerges. The 2007-04-27 failed MOT noted slight free play in the front steering system, while the 2008-04-23 failure highlighted movement in both nearside and offside steering arms. These issues may indicate worn bushings, loose fastenings, or degraded suspension components. The 2008-04-29 pass does not mention steering adjustments, raising questions about whether these faults were fully resolved. Tyre wear near the legal limit appears to be a recurring issue, first noted in 2008-04-23 and again in 2008-04-29. This could signal improper alignment, uneven wear from suspension problems, or prolonged under-use leading to uneven tyre degradation. The 2007-05-02 MOT pass had no defects, but earlier failures in 2007 and 2006 suggest intermittent electrical and steering issues.
