2008 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Petrol · GV08 UCH

The overall roadworthiness status is rated non-roadworthy due to the persistent failure of the offside front position lamp, which has been flagged as a defect in the 2021 test. This recurring failure indicates a systemic mechanical risk that cannot be ignored, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage. The maintenance trend is worsening relative to the most recent test on 2023-11-20, which passed with only minor wear on the nearside and offside tyres. The failure of the offside front lamp in the 2021 test suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance, specifically in the electrical and suspension areas, leading to a progressive deterioration of the braking and lighting systems. Given the age of the vehicle (approximately 18 years) and the documented faults, a buyer must inspect the car personally to identify and repair the binding rear brakes and check for structural corrosion, as the history indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped due to the recurring electrical defects.
