This 2017 Avensis diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 50.7%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which is a genuine red flag for potential buyers. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort and average failures are negligible at 0.09 per vehicle, suggesting problems tend to be minor when they do occur.
At a median mileage of 68,070 miles for a vehicle now seven years old, these cars are running well within normal wear expectations, yet still failing MOTs at a high rate—this points to specific weak points rather than general age-related decay. Before committing to one of these, get a thorough pre-purchase inspection focused on the systems that are actually causing failures; the pattern here suggests recurring issues that a full diagnostic will expose.
The 2017 Toyota Avensis Business Edition D 4d passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 541 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
