How the Toyota Avensis does at its MOT
See the MOT record for the Toyota Avensis
DVSA's MOT test results for the model, by age and mileage. This is about the model, not this car.
What most often fails on a Toyota Avensis at its MOT
Across 55,139 Toyota Avensis MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Position lamp: not working. On 6.4% of Toyota Avensis tests, 1.5 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Coil spring: fractured or broken. On 3.4% of Toyota Avensis tests.
- Wipers do not clear the windscreen effectively. On 2.5% of Toyota Avensis tests.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.
