2014 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FM14 MLL

The Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 January 2026 at 121,579 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as every pass and fail entry shows a clean sheet with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. Recorded mileage rose from 114,343 at the May 2024 test to 117,442 by November 2024, then to 121,579 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 3,700 miles over thirteen months, below the vehicle's average annual rate of 10,132 miles and consistent with light recent use for a twelve-year-old car. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three passes and two fails logged, and all entries carry zero defects, so no wear pattern or neglect signal emerges from the numbers alone. The January 2026 fail at 121,569 miles and the November 2024 fail at 117,437 miles both list no defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT record offers no visibility of corrosion or consumable condition despite the clean test outcomes. Given the low defect history, previous owners likely kept the car to minimum statutory standards without obvious skipped upkeep. Verify service records independently and check for intermittent electrical or emissions faults that a single-day test may not capture before completing purchase.
