2009 Toyota Avensis 2.2L Diesel · SY59 OSU

The most recent MOT test on 14 March 2025 at 151,948 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This indicates the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend appears stable, as all prior passes also carried no advisories or failures. The single failure on 20 November 2021 at 105,051 miles listed no defects, which is unusual but suggests any issue was rectified promptly for the pass three days later. The recorded mileage of 151,948 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 8,938 miles per annum, a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows a gradual decrease in annual use: from 105,051 miles in November 2021 to 129,506 miles in February 2023, then 142,721 miles in March 2024, and finally 151,948 miles in March 2025. This pattern implies consistent but reducing usage, with no evidence of prolonged standing or rapid accumulation that might accelerate wear. With no defects or advisories in the MOT history, the record does not flag specific components for concern. However, for a 17-year-old vehicle with over 150,000 miles, a buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on suspension bushes and coil springs, brake discs and callipers for binding, and structural corrosion, particularly on subframes and sills. The clean MOT history suggests diligent maintenance, but age-related deterioration on consumables and rubber components is inevitable.
