2011 Toyota Avensis 2.2L Diesel · BD60 KWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 66,105 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but shows a slight decline in the condition of braking components. The latest test flagged both front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. This follows a pattern of minor brake-related advisories, including corrosion to the brake hose ferrules noted during the January 2023 test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,407 miles per year. Usage has remained consistently light over the last decade, with a steady increase from 30,461 miles in January 2016 to 66,105 miles in February 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system. The recurring mentions of pitted discs in 2026 and corroded brake hose ferrules in 2023 suggest that the vehicle may suffer from the effects of standing still for long periods. The tester also noted a cut in the offside front tyre in both the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, indicating the owner has neglected to replace a damaged tyre over a full year. Attention should be paid to the rubber components across the chassis. The records from January 2022 and January 2023 specifically mention cracking and perishing of the rear tyres. This type of degradation is typical for low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages and hardens before the tread actually wears down. Checking for similar perishing in the suspension bushes and windscreen wiper blades is recommended.
