2014 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Diesel · FM14 MBY

The 2014 Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 118,909 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the supplied record, indicating consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,900 miles, typical for a twelve-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 78,257 miles in February 2023, 91,973 in January 2024, 111,607 in January 2025, and 118,909 by January 2026. The only anomaly is a failed test on 16 February 2023 at 78,230 miles, retested the same day at 78,257 miles with a pass and no defects listed, pointing to a minor administrative or pre-check issue rather than a mechanical defect. Given the clean history with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. At this age and mileage, covert rust on sills or subframes and worn coil springs or suspension joints may escape an MOT if not yet at failure thresholds. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm the February 2023 failure cause with the test station. The absence of advisories across six years suggests diligent ownership, but a 118,909-mile Toyota warrants a hands-on check of binding calipers, tyre tread depth, and wiper blades before purchase.
