2003 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FH03 RWZ

The Toyota Avensis passed its most recent MOT on 8 February 2022 at 148,065 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT since that date, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified for over four years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The recorded mileage shows an unusual pattern. On 7 February 2022 the car recorded 148,063 miles and failed the test with no defects listed, then passed one day later at 148,065 miles. This two-mile gap between a failure and a pass, with no faults noted on either certificate, suggests an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than mechanical work. At roughly 6,438 miles per year across 23 years the annual average is typical, yet the absence of any MOT entry after early 2022 means the final recorded figure of 148,065 may not reflect actual use since. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and full mechanical inspection before purchase. The sparse history offers no evidence of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion being assessed beyond February 2022. Given the vehicle's age and the long lapse in testing, prior owners may have reduced upkeep once the car exited the recorded MOT cycle. In person, examine the subframe and sills for rust, check brake calipers for binding, and inspect tyre sidewalls and tread given the standing period. The clean 2022 pass provides no assurance of present condition after four years of undocumented use.
