2016 Toyota Avensis 1.6L Diesel · FD66 APX

Given that this is a 1.6 D-4D diesel, prioritise a thorough inspection of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), as these are known to clog on predominantly short-journey driving. Ask the seller for evidence of regular long runs to keep the DPF healthy, and check for any warning lights or stored DPF-related fault codes. The single MOT failure on this vehicle was purely down to tyre condition — a maintenance issue rather than a mechanical fault — so there is no underlying safety or structural concern to investigate further from the test history alone. That said, the mileage of nearly 78,000 means the timing belt (if not already changed on this engine variant) and clutch should be factored into your offer. Negotiate based on the age, the diesel market softening post-2026, and the absence of any documented service history beyond MOT records.

This black Toyota Avensis was first registered in December 2016 and is powered by a 1.6-litre D-4D diesel engine. Five MOT tests are recorded, with four passes and one failure — the failure being entirely down to front tyre tread depth falling below the legal 1.6mm minimum on both nearside and offside wheels. Current mileage stands at 77,998 miles, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year, which is fractionally above the model average of 7,752 miles annually. The most recent test in July 2026 was a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded.
