2010 Toyota Avensis 2.2L Diesel · DV10 OCS

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows the vehicle passed, but it highlights immediate consumable issues that need addressing before the next test. At 124,599 miles, the offside front tyre was recorded as worn close to the legal limit, and the offside rear tyre showed signs of damage, specifically cracking or perishing. This indicates the tyres are likely due for replacement now to ensure safety and compliance. Looking back at the history, the mechanical trend appears stable rather than worsening. The vehicle failed an MOT in October 2023 due to low brake pads and headlamp alignment, but these were rectified immediately with a retest a few days later. Earlier, in 2022, the tester noted wear on front brake discs and corrosion on both rear coil springs. While the brake issues seem to have been managed, the corrosion on the suspension components is a known area of deterioration that requires monitoring. The mileage context suggests average usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. Covering roughly 7,787 miles per year implies the car has not been sitting idle for long periods, which is beneficial for the engine and ancillaries, but it does mean standard mechanical components have experienced consistent use. There is no evidence in the history to suggest the vehicle has been abused or neglected beyond typical maintenance schedules.
