2010 Toyota Avensis 1.8L Petrol · GP59 AJY

This Toyota Avensis shows a stable and positive roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 102,047 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories. While the vehicle failed the same day due to incorrect indicator bulb colours, this is a minor electrical correction rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of advisories across the last five years suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring structural or mechanical deterioration. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,378 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 58,692 miles in December 2015 to 102,047 miles by December 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden corrosion from standing. The gap between 2015 and 2016 shows a typical annual increase of approximately 9,000 miles, which settled into a lower, more consistent pattern in later years. Previous failures have been limited to trivial items. The tester flagged registration plate lamps in 2015 and 2016, and a washer fluid issue in 2017. These are basic consumable or maintenance oversights. The only noteworthy mechanical advisory occurred in November 2018 at 76,806 miles, where the tester noted perishing rear tyres and a displaced nearside rear coil spring insulator. Since these were not flagged in subsequent tests, the owner likely replaced the tyres and seated the insulator. A buyer should focus on a physical inspection of the suspension components and underbody. Although the MOT history is remarkably clean, a 16-year-old vehicle often develops corrosion on brake lines or suspension arms that may not trigger a failure until it becomes critical. Check the condition of the rear coil springs and bushings to ensure the 2018 insulator issue was permanently resolved. Given the low frequency of mechanical defects, the car appears to have been subject to a disciplined maintenance regime.
