Our Verdict
The 2018 Toyota Avensis has a recent clean MOT but shows recurring tyre and brake issues. While generally reliable, buyers should scrutinise its service history and inspect key components.
Focus on checking the condition of the brake discs, tyres, and shock absorbers, as these have shown recurring issues. Verify service records to ensure repairs were properly addressed. Negotiate based on the 2024 MOT failures, which indicate potential maintenance costs. Be cautious of the 2022 headlight adjuster fix, which may signal electrical system concerns. Confirm the vehicle’s history matches the MOT records.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.995cc engine is moderate, with typical costs around £1.30-£1.40 per litre. Tax band is £150 annually for CO2 emissions. Insurance group is likely mid-range (Group 20-25). Maintenance costs may increase due to past brake disc and tyre issues, with estimated annual running costs of £1,200-£1,500 including servicing and parts.
Inspect the nearside and offside brake discs for further wear, as they showed scoring in 2024. Check tyres for uneven wear or damage, particularly the offside rear tyre. Examine shock absorbers for oil leakage, as noted in 2025. Test headlights to ensure the 2022 adjuster fix is functioning correctly. Review service history for documented repairs to these issues.
This 2018 Toyota Avensis has a clean MOT from 2026 (110,390 miles) but previously showed tyre wear, brake disc deterioration, and shock absorber oil leakage. Its mileage is in line with typical usage for an 8-year-old vehicle, though the 2024 MOT revealed multiple brake and tyre faults requiring attention.
No aggregate data available for the Toyota Avensis model, but this vehicle’s MOT history indicates specific component vulnerabilities.
