2009 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FN09 XBL

The Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 101,690 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle passed every test cleanly, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2009 vehicle at 101,690 miles, averaging roughly 5,982 miles per year. The tests show steady annual use: 79,898 miles on 12 November 2022, 84,811 on 17 November 2023, 90,758 on 15 November 2024, and 101,690 on 17 November 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 5,000 to 11,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps, and the DVSA data carries no flagged wear items across this period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Clean MOT sheets on a 17-year-old vehicle do not rule out latent structural rust at sills, subframes, or suspension mounting points that testers may not have probed. Verify the brake calipers and handbrake mechanism operate free of binding after the long standing periods implied by low yearly mileage. Check tyre sidewall condition and date codes, as aged rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. The duplicated 17 November 2025 entries suggest clerical inconsistency at the testing station; confirm V5C and service history align with the 101,690-mile odometer before purchase.
