Description

We are between Heysham and London, reach out and I may pop in to show you the car on our next journey. Our family of 4 (3 adults with 1 child) are visiting Douglas, Isle of Man and needed a car for a couple of months. I was looking for a reliable Toyota. Spent many days looking for the best value for money and quality. Found this Toyota Avensis near Flitwick and got it immediately. PROS: 1) Full annual Toyota Service History (see pictures with stamps). Last service at 93k in June 2025 spark plugs replaced, oil, oil filter, cabin filter - all done. 2) 4 brand new tyres (under 500 miles on them); 3) MOT till January 2027; 4) a reliable workhorse cheaper than older competition. 5) all previous MOTs without any serious issues, no rust, nothing major (just tyre change). CONS: 1) It is "tired" on the outside, the previous owner, an elderly gentleman, owned it since 2017 so probably had minor scratches here and there. The car was cosmetically scratched up so the dealer touched it up, painted over the scratches and made it look nice. I will also clean it up before selling as I am very meticulous and tidy in general. Will try to clean the wheels to the best of my abilities. 2) the wheels are 7 out of 10 at best, need cleaning, which I will try to do before sale as well. For me it's more important that the car is mechanically sound rather than being all pretty on the outside but with plenty of hidden issues with the engine and not even basic service done by owners. So I looked at the service history, looked at the fact that these cars go over 200k mileage and decided that this is THE car for our travels in the UK. When looking for a car I was choosing between the Avensis, Auris, Honda CRV, Mazda Skyactiv G, Mercedes E-Class, Toyota Rav4. Considering all the factors, this car is the best option for a large family with luggage, reliability of Toyota (200k+ miles with regular, simple service). We already went to Douglas from London for Xmas without a problem and are planning to come back end of January. Listing the car now so to gauge interest. If it doesn't sell, will keep it as it's a pleasure to drive and fits a mountain and a half in the boot. I repeat, if you are looking for a Toyota quality and are happy to ignore the "tired" look (and save a grand in the process), then this is the car for you. If you want a flashy car, then you should probably not look at Avensises :)) Open to REASONABLE offers. This car still has 100k+ miles in its reserve easily.
