Our Verdict

A highly sensible and low-mileage example of a legendary reliable Japanese saloon. While the MOT history shows minor issues, the overall low mileage suggests a well-maintained vehicle for its age.

When inspecting this specific Avensis, your priority should be verifying the service history. Because the car has low mileage relative to its age, it is vital that oil changes were performed annually rather than just based on mileage intervals to ensure the engine remains healthy. Check for the timing belt replacement records, as these often require replacement based on time regardless of mileage.

Pay close attention to the wheels. The MOT history shows 'distorted bead rims' on both the nearside and offside rear in 2010, which suggests the car may have hit deep potholes or curbs. Ensure there are no longer significant vibrations at high speeds which could indicate permanent wheel damage or suspension wear.
