2006 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FH06 YHJ

The 2006 Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 168,040 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle passed every test without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a 20-year-old vehicle. The record shows 147,515 miles at the 18 October 2021 test, rising to 158,359 by 14 November 2023, then 163,693 on 31 October 2024, and 168,040 on 3 November 2025. Annual accumulation averages roughly 4,100 miles between 2021 and 2023 and about 5,200 miles per year thereafter, both below the 8,400-mile annual norm. No gaps exceed thirteen months, and the clean sheets imply previous owners kept basic consumables and structure within test limits. Given the absence of flagged faults, the history reveals no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or corrosion issues requiring corrective inference. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, as MOT clean passes on an older high-mileage car do not certify absence of latent rust. Verify service history for timing belt and drivetrain wear given 168,040 recorded miles. The DVSA data alone supports a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint. In-person checks on exhaust emissions under load, coil springs, and binding calipers remain prudent given the vehicle's age and the test's snapshot nature.
