2018 Toyota Avensis 1.6L Diesel · FH67 VTE

The Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 126,673 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 12 January 2024 at 90,291 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects listed against it, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault on the same day the car then passed. The mileage pattern sits high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 15,834 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 73,800 miles at the 18 January 2023 test to 90,291 by 12 January 2024, then to 108,497 on 9 January 2025 and 126,673 on 7 January 2026. Annual accumulation held steady near 17,000 to 18,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden jumps. The sparse but consistent clean record implies the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear under test limits without accruing advisories on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high annual mileage and winter road salt exposure since 2023. The MOT history flags no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet the absence of advisories across four years at this mileage is unusual and warrants verifying brake disc thickness and suspension arm condition directly. Check the tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition as minor consumables the tester may not have flagged near limit. Given the 2024 duplicate entry, confirm with the seller that no hidden rectification work followed the January 2024 failure before relying on the clean pass.
