2009 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · FN59 OGV

The Toyota Avensis presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 August 2025 at 132,524 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly after two consecutive years where a pass followed a same-week failure with no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 132,524 against a 2009 build, an average of roughly 7,796 miles per year. The history shows measured annual use: 116,852 miles in July 2023, 124,159 at the July 2024 failure, and 132,509 at the July 2025 failure. That is about 7,600 to 8,400 miles added each year, a consistent pattern with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories or reported wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the car is seventeen years old. The MOT record flags nothing on coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, but a clean test sheet does not certify component life remaining on a high-mileage hatchback of this age. The repeated same-day or next-day fail-then-pass sequence in July 2024 and July 2025 suggests the previous owner relied on minimal preparation and may have presented the car without addressing minor consumable items beforehand. Verify service history and check for worn wiper blades, tyre tread depth, and suspension play not captured by the tester before purchase.
