2009 Toyota Avensis 2.2L Diesel · FE59 AEP

This Toyota Avensis presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 85,129 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in a roadworthy condition. The mileage is notably low for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,008 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing from 73,477 miles in October 2022 to 85,129 miles by October 2025. This suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically helps preserve rubber components and prevents seals from drying out. The MOT record is unusually sparse regarding defects. Even the failure on 1 November 2023 at 78,984 miles was resolved on the same day, though the record lacks specific details on the fault. The absence of recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks over a four year period suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the tyre sidewalls, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber perishing due to age rather than wear. Verify the operation of the air conditioning and check the engine oil for signs of sludge, ensuring the low annual mileage did not result in extended intervals between essential fluid changes.
