2018 Toyota Avensis Business Edition D-4D 1.6L Heavy oil · MD67 MUP

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a lack of recurring mechanical defects and a clean pass on 23 January 2026. The history is largely stable, though it does include a recorded failure on 27 January 2024 that was rectified and passed two days later, and a minor advisory regarding a registration plate bulb lens in 2019. The recorded mileage of 59,591 miles over eight years represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,449 miles. This typical usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet use, nor has it suffered from the degradation often found in vehicles that have remained stationary for extended periods. Given the absence of specific advisories concerning the chassis or braking system in the DVSA records, the inspection should focus on the physical condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. During a test drive, feel for any excessive vibration through the steering wheel or unusual knocks when navigating speed bumps, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages. Particular attention should be given to the D-4D engine's ancillary components and the exhaust system to ensure there is no oil misting or leakage around the seals. Check that the registration plate lighting is fully operational and that the lenses are intact, ensuring the previously flagged defect has been correctly addressed.
