2007 Toyota Avensis 2.2L Diesel · FP07 XTF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 169,665 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. A review of the full history reveals consistent passes from 2022 to 2025, with no recurring mechanical issues. The 2023-09-27 failure at 153,079 miles recorded no defects, suggesting an anomaly or procedural error, but subsequent tests at 153,080 miles and beyond showed no concerns. This pattern implies the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, though the gap between the last MOT and today’s date (2026-07-08) exceeds 9 months, raising questions about its current compliance. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 19-year lifespan, averaging 8,930 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The 2023-09-29 test at 153,080 miles and the preceding 2024-09-26 test at 164,145 miles indicate a regular servicing interval, though the 2023-09-27 failure at nearly identical mileage (153,079) suggests a possible data inconsistency. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or suspension issues were flagged, reflecting a clean maintenance history. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical check of the brake discs and calipers is advised. Given the age and mileage, a thorough assessment of the exhaust system and body corrosion is also recommended to confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity. The MOT history provides no cause for immediate concern, but the lack of recent testing underscores the need for a pre-purchase inspection.
