2006 Toyota Avensis T3 X D-4D 2.2L Diesel · YE56 WYD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on its documented MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 10 June 2025 at 210,449 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. This clean result across the last five recorded tests suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and structural issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between July 2023 at 187,912 miles and June 2025 at 210,449 miles, the car covered 22,537 miles, representing a steady rate of use that likely helps prevent the degradation of seals and components associated with long inactivity. The intervals between tests are regular, showing the vehicle has been in consistent use rather than suffering from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the D-4D engine's overall mechanical health. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer must account for high-mileage wear inherent to a 20-year-old Toyota with over 210,000 miles. Physical inspection should focus on the suspension system, specifically control arm bushes and shock absorbers, as these often perish at this distance. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is necessary, as the MOT only identifies structural rot once it has reached a point of failure. The buyer should also inspect the brake components for thinning or sticking calipers to ensure the high-mileage usage has not led to uneven wear on the braking system.
