Buying Tips for the Toyota Avensis Mk2 (T25)

  • If you want low drama, stick to a 1.8 petrol manual and avoid the 2.2 diesel unless there is excellent paperwork.
  • Listen for steering-column or intermediate-shaft knocks over potholes and while gently rocking the wheel.
  • Check the boot and rear light area for damp, especially on cars that have spent years outside.
