2009 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FN09 WJK

The 2009 Toyota Avensis presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 120,444 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. A failed test on 9 June 2025 at the identical mileage also shows no recorded defects, strongly suggesting an administrative retest or a minor rectification completed within 24 hours. This pattern of passing without faults demonstrates a consistent commitment to keeping the car in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical usage rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. Between the July 2023 test at 103,318 miles and the July 2024 test at 112,634 miles, the car covered 9,316 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in usage, accumulating 7,810 miles to reach the 120,444 miles recorded in June 2025. This steady, predictable increase rules out suspicious mileage anomalies and confirms regular, everyday driving. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of age-related components. A buyer should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these degrade naturally over seventeen years regardless of mileage. The brake discs and calipers require checking for corrosion and binding, common issues that can develop between annual tests. Structural integrity also warrants attention; inspect the underbody, sills, and subframes for corrosion, which can compromise safety without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. Tyre condition and exhaust emissions should be assessed, as these consumables fluctuate with use and can deteriorate rapidly even on a well-maintained vehicle.
