Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a hi
When inspecting this silver Avensis, focus on the diesel engine's performance and check for any signs of turbocharger or injector issues, which are common in high-mileage diesel saloons. Although the MOT history is clean, you should verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, as this is critical for the 2231cc engine's longevity.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the car has been consistently tested, 111,274 miles is significant. Check the condition of the suspension components, as the aggregate data for this model suggests suspension arms and anti-roll bars are frequent failure points across the wider Toyota Avensis fleet.
As a 2.2L diesel, this Avensis is designed for longer journeys and should offer decent fuel economy compared to petrol equivalents. Tax and insurance groups will depend on the specific engine output and your personal profile, but typically fall into mid-range brackets for a car of this era.
Maintenance costs for Toyotas are generally predictable, but at this mileage, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as timing belts (if applicable), water pumps, and suspension bushings. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Pay close attention to the lighting system, specifically the headlamps, as this is a top failure reason for the Avensis model according to aggregate data. Although the 2023 MOT noted a deteriorated front registration plate, ensure all other external lighting is fully functional.
Given the model's history, perform a thorough check of the underside for signs of corrosion and inspect the suspension arms and anti-roll bars for play or excessive wear. Test the vehicle on a bumpy road to listen for knocks or rattles that could indicate the suspension issues common to this model.
This 2006 Toyota Avensis features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 111,274 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2021, with only one minor advisory regarding a deteriorated registration plate in 2023. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,752 per year, the recent inspection history is notably clean.
The Toyota Avensis shows a 77.9% average MOT pass rate across 85,072 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to headlamps and suspension components.
