2005 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · CP54 PHK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in July 2022 at 138,193 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum standard at that time. While a failure occurred in June 2021 for a low offside rear tyre, the subsequent pass shows the issue was addressed immediately without further recurrence. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between April 2019 and July 2022, the car covered 8,131 miles, suggesting low-intensity usage. There is a significant gap between the recorded July 2022 test and the current date of June 2026, meaning the vehicle has not been tested in nearly four years. This interval increases the likelihood that rubber components have perished or fluid levels have dropped despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the oil leak noted during the April 2019 test at 130,062 miles. Although the tester flagged it as not excessive at the time, oil leaks on older Toyota engines can worsen as gaskets dry out over years of use. Given the vehicle's age and the time since the last MOT, a thorough check of structural corrosion on the underbody and suspension mounts is essential, as these are common failure points for the Avensis of this generation that do not always trigger an advisory until they become critical.
