2009 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · DA59 TPU

The 2009 Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 143,497 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 117,400 miles in November 2021, 124,010 in November 2022, 127,814 in November 2023, 135,696 in November 2024, and 143,497 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every test listing zero defects, which suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and mechanical items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage. The clean MOT record does not rule out worn components the tester judged passable on the day. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking, as the Avensis of this era is prone to hidden rust that a visual MOT may not capture. Verify service history matches the odometer and confirm tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers under load. The absence of advisories implies competent upkeep, but 143,000 miles demands scrutiny of drivetrain condition before purchase.
