2013 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Diesel · FH13 CCF

The 2013 Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 9 February 2026 at 96,528 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The February 2026 test recorded a fail on the same date at identical mileage before the pass, though the DVSA entry shows no defects logged for either outcome. A prior fail on 10 February 2025 at 89,470 miles also carried no recorded defects before the pass two days later, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage averages around 7,425 across the vehicle's thirteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 81,622 miles in February 2024, rising to 89,470 by February 2025 and 96,528 by February 2026, a steady annual increment of roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles with no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing. The supplied history is sparse and clean, listing no advisories or defects across any of the three passed tests. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT data implies consistent basic upkeep by previous owners. The repeated no-defect fails suggest the car was presented without a valid prior certificate or with minor paperwork omissions rather than neglected mechanically. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers, as the MOT record alone cannot confirm unseen wear. Pre-purchase checks should target exhaust emissions and tyre condition despite no flags in the data, since consumable items degrade between annual tests. The clean trajectory supports confidence, but the twin 2025 and 2026 fail-pass pairs on the same dates warrant confirmation that the V5C and prior certificates were in order at sale.
