2009 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FN09 WZM

The 2009 Toyota Avensis presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 December 2024 at 163,074 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record. The December 2024 pass follows a clean pass in December 2023 at 153,705 miles, and although the same-day 2023 and 2022 entries show initial failures logged at identical mileages with no defects cited, the vehicle cleared on retest without advisory or repair data, indicating administrative or tester-entry anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. Annual mileage averages roughly 9,593 miles against the vehicle's 17-year life, a typical use profile for this age of car. The record moves from 144,199 miles on 20 December 2022 to 153,705 miles by 15 December 2023, then to 163,074 miles at the final test, showing consistent yearly accumulation near 9,000 to 10,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories or component wear flagged at any stage, which limits insight into consumable or structural condition but suggests no enforced rectification was needed. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 163,074-mile distance travelled without recorded intervention. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes in the MOT history does not preclude underbody rust on a 2009 vehicle, so the sills, subframes, and exhaust emissions hardware warrant physical checks. Tyres and wiper blades show no test failures, yet at this mileage expect near-term replacement of these consumables as routine. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries at 144,199 and 153,705 miles imply previous owners cleared the test process without listed defects, pointing to compliant but undocumented upkeep. No worsening mechanical trend is evident. Verify service history against the odometer to confirm drivetrain maintenance, as the MOT alone records no intermediate faults across four years.
