2012 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Diesel · FD12 TLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean MOT pass on January 7 2026 at 127,476 miles. This recent result indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards without any recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of failures in previous years, the trend shows these were followed by successful passes, suggesting that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle road legal. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles annually. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 4,342 miles, while it covered 5,851 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals caused by prolonged stationary. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the specific causes of the failures in January 2024 and January 2025, as the provided record does not list the defect codes for those instances. Given the age and mileage, particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the underbody and the condition of the suspension bushes and springs. Inspect the brake discs for signs of excessive corrosion and the calipers for binding, as these are common points of failure on this model as vehicles approach the six-figure mile mark.
