2017 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Diesel · CV67 FNG

The 2017 Toyota Avensis presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-10-01 at 121,578 miles. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 recorded no defects or advisories, and the vehicle carries no outstanding mechanical flags. The maintenance history shows consistent compliance with statutory testing, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each deadline. The odometer sat at 121,578 miles at the October 2025 test, against a September 2022 reading of 79,095 miles, giving an average of roughly 13,500 miles per year across the record. This is high for a nine-year-old estate but evenly spread rather than clustered. A failed test on 2022-09-20 at 78,090 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 79,095 miles with no defects logged, suggesting the initial failure concerned administrative or minor presentation issues rather than structural or mechanical faults. No long dormant periods or abrupt accumulation spikes appear in the data. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across four successive passes, the Avensis shows no evidence of worsening wear patterns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions, as MOT cleanliness does not preclude hidden rust or worn consumables between tests. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, though high annual mileage warrants scrutiny of drivetrain condition and tyre age. Prior to purchase, verify the 2022 failure reason through DVSA archives and confirm service history matches the 13,500-mile yearly use. Check for uneven tyre wear and binding calipers that a no-advisory test might miss on a high-mileage commuter. The vehicle remains mechanically credible on paper as of its last examination ten months before today.
