Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Avensis diesel presents
When inspecting this Avensis, verify whether the numerous advisories and recent failure items from April 2026—including the nearside rear brake pipe, worn brake discs, and tyres close to the legal limit—have been addressed. Negotiate on the price to reflect the cost of replacing these consumables and investigating the nearside front shock absorber oil misting. Always inspect the physical service record to cross-reference against the recorded test milestones.
Operating a 2.0-litre diesel engine from 2009 typically involves mid-tier road tax brackets and standard insurance groupings for a large family saloon. Fuel economy should be reasonable for long-distance motorway driving, though maintenance costs will be influenced by the ongoing need to replace consumable items like tyres, brake discs, and suspension linkage components as highlighted in its testing history. Expect estimated annual running costs to fall around £1,300-£1,600 encompassing fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the braking and suspension systems, as the April 2026 MOT recorded a nearside rear brake pipe corrosion note, worn brake discs on both rear sides, and a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber. Check all four tyres, noting the previous failure for a structural tyre tear in April 2026 and current edge wear advisories. Additionally, inspect the anti-roll bar linkages and steering dust covers, which have triggered failure points in previous years.
First registered in June 2009, this grey Toyota Avensis is powered by a 1998.0cc diesel engine and has covered 116,865 miles as of its April 2026 test. Its MOT history shows recent failures in both 2025 and 2026, featuring tyre structural damage, anti-roll bar linkage degradation, and worn brake discs. However, it also records a completely fault-free pass in May 2025.
The Toyota Avensis demonstrates a solid baseline reliability across the model range with an average MOT pass rate of 77.9%, though suspension and headlamp components remain common points of failure.
