2003 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FH03 TXG

The Toyota Avensis shows a mixed roadworthiness status with no clear maintenance trend established. On 7 May 2022 at 85,994 miles the vehicle passed the MOT with no defects recorded, yet on the same date it also failed with no defects listed. This contradictory pair of entries at the most recent test point leaves the current condition unverified, and no further MOT data exists up to today's date of 8 July 2026, leaving the vehicle four years without a recorded test. The recorded mileage stands at 85,994 miles against a 2003 build, averaging roughly 3,739 miles per year. Both 2022 entries share the identical 85,994-mile figure, confirming the odometer had not advanced between the fail and pass. The low annual mileage suggests light use or extended periods of storage, though the absence of any MOT test after May 2022 means we cannot track wear or confirm the vehicle remained roadworthy beyond that point. A buyer must treat the twin 7 May 2022 results as a red flag. The failure with no defects noted typically signals an administrative or documentation error at the test centre, or a previously unrecorded issue cleared before the pass. Given the 23-year age and four-year test gap, a physical inspection should prioritise structural corrosion on sills and subframes, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition after probable standing. Check the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall cracking from prolonged inactivity. Verify the V5C and any garage invoices for May 2022 to explain the fail-pass anomaly. Without a fresh MOT the Avensis cannot be judged roadworthy today.
