2018 Toyota Avensis 1.6L Diesel · FL18 MSY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-07-07 at 93,293 miles, though a minor failure was recorded for the nearside headlamp. No other defects were noted, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 showed no critical issues, with only minor tyre and brake pad wear addressed. The 2022 test revealed worn front tyres and thin rear brake pads, but subsequent checks suggest these were resolved. Overall, the record shows consistent compliance with safety standards, though the headlamp failure highlights a need for immediate repair. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,293 miles over eight years equates to an average of 11,662 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests were conducted approximately yearly, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. The 2022-2025 interval saw gradual increases from 51,228 to 93,293 miles, reflecting steady use. No evidence of excessive wear from high mileage is present, though the 2023 test noted a nearside rear tyre nail, suggesting occasional neglect in tyre maintenance. A buyer should inspect the nearside headlamp for replacement, as the 2025 failure indicates a functional issue. Tyre condition, particularly the nearside rear, warrants scrutiny given the 2023 nail and prior edge wear on front tyres. Brake pads, which were thin in 2022, should be checked for remaining thickness and uneven wear. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may benefit from a closer examination, as no direct mentions of these exist in the record. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues is reassuring, but a full pre-purchase inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
