2011 Toyota Avensis 2.0L Diesel · MJ11 FBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 112,249 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple mechanical defects. The record shows that the owner addressed anti-roll bar linkage failures and worn suspension arm bushes only when necessary for a pass, suggesting that components are replaced only when they approach failure rather than on a preventative schedule. At 112,249 miles, the Toyota Avensis has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year over its 15-year life, which is consistent with low-use patterns. The data shows steady annual accumulation, with a 9,000-mile gap between July 2022 and August 2023, and another 3,600 miles since. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low mileage does not exempt the natural degradation of rubber-related components. A buyer must specifically inspect the entire front and rear suspension geometry. The record flags recurring issues with worn suspension arm bushes and trailing arm bushes across the 2024 and 2025 tests. Additionally, the front and rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored for three consecutive years, indicating significant surface corrosion or wear that will soon require replacement beyond pads. The headlamp lenses also require attention, as they have been flagged for deteriorating since 2022, which may eventually impact light output despite the current pass.
