2016 Toyota Avensis 1.6L Diesel · FM16 ADX

The 2016 Toyota Avensis holds a valid MOT pass from 25 August 2025 at 69,301 miles, with the maintenance trend across its recorded history remaining stable and free of flagged defects. The most recent test shows no advisories, and the certificate remains current given today’s date of 16 July 2026. A failure logged on 4 September 2024 at 60,068 miles listed no defects and was superseded by a pass two days later at identical mileage, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Odometer readings advanced from 40,735 miles on 2 September 2022 to 50,328 miles on 31 August 2023, then 60,068 miles on 6 September 2024, reaching 69,301 miles by the August 2025 test. This linear accumulation averages near 9,600 miles annually, slightly above the typical 6,930 for the age but showing no erratic jumps or dormant periods. The five-entry DVSA log is sparse yet clean, with no gaps in yearly certification. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in any test, suggesting previous owners addressed consumables before each examination. The buyer should still physically verify structural integrity at chassis mounting points and inspect coil springs for fracture, as ten years of service can hide fatigue not caught on a ramp snapshot. Check calipers for binding and confirm tyre tread depth beyond the test limit. The unexplained failure without recorded defects hints at possible rushed presentation rather than neglect; request retest paperwork for the September 2024 turnaround. Overall, the vehicle presents as a low-risk purchase on paper, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent for unseen wear.
