Toyota's Avensis has always provided customers in the medium range Mondeo segment with a safe, conservative set of wheels. The third generation version continued that tradition when it was first launched in 2008, but it lacked a little in terms of style and technology. Toyota aimed to put that right when the time came for this design's first facelift in 2011 and the changes made were enough to sustain this car until further more far-reaching changes could be made in 2015. So, does an Avensis from this era make secondhand sense? Let's find out.

I’m bored of the Avensis being called boring. I’ve had enough “exciting” cars let me down and cost time and money. The Avensis is a brilliant car.
I found one Station Wagon 1.8 2014 with only 57.000km...now my Passat b8 is for sale and I am going for Avensis. We have Auris 1.4vvti in our garage for 12 years no issue at all only new clutch that's it.😂
Thank you! What’s exciting about being hit with repair bills north of a grand once a year? I’m done with that!
Brilliant review!! , I own a 2010 d4d 2.2 Tourer T4.. As a second hand car these are great buys. In typical Toyota fashion, the looks are innovensive, easy to drive and is built for longevity, something which a lot of car journalists seem to miss the point on.
I had one for eight years , great car , far superior car to my previous unreliable ford
Did you have a Mondeo?
Im probably gonna buy one tomorrow. Found one (2012 1.6 T1) with only 64000 km on the counter. Full book and 6 month warranty.
Did you get it and what are your thoughts
Those who use them as taxis know that they're very reliable
43mpg for a 1.8 petrol is pretty good!
Taxi Driver's Favorite because it's so reliable
I have a 2012 2L D car is great running perfectly BUT for 1 thing the electric hand break has suddenly given an no functioning error on the dash. The break engages when the car is turned off but won’t work any other time which is not a problem because I only use it when parked. Supposedly this is an issue Toyota knows about. So the break actuator module is €1800 plus labor and the car won’t pass the NCT with getting this done so a perfectly good car may need to be scrapped because of the cost and possible non availability of the part.
Have one in with same fault - very common. Work on commercials & jeeps usually but am being asked to look at more & more cars for lads we repair work stuff for. Anyway, I'm different in that I'm used to doing board level repairs - this is a board fault on these caused by water ingress to the actuator module. Water runs down the manual release cable & gets inside.
If/when I find a repair solution I'll post it in the comments - might help others, you've probably already sorted yours. NCT-Land here too. :-) I have a used replacement module for this one that the customer supplied, but these are coded to the cars, so that's not much use unless the eeproms are swapped. A repair is a better solution IMO.
230 k miles on mine driving like new
Fantastic review. Very informative, no waffle. Perfect.
Glad you liked it!
You appear to be the Toyota Avensis of motoring journalists
i have a 2014 2.0 d4d 1adftv engine business edition great car
Hmmm... but the sound of that door closing at 8:42... :/
In fact, all the door shutting throughout the video sound quite clunky... :P
My friend, do you know in a Toyota Avensis 1.6 D-4D 2016 sports touring to change antifreeze, apart from the radiator cap, it is also in the motor like the older models!
Its has a crapy bmw engine.
Considering the fact that, Avensis are no longer being produced, is it still advisable to buy a used one? Will their parts remain available? Please I need answers. Thank you
Of course, it's a Toyota. Also, service it on time and you'll need tyres, and wiper blades. That's about it.
Parts will always be available for anything unless it's super rare. Even if you can't get an OEM part you can still go to the breaker's yard. Or a motor factor with a non-OEM alternative. Or eBay if you're really stuck. And with a Toyota you'll probably never need these options.
@@-BuddyGuy Unless its an avensis & the electric hand-brake goes south..
I really like this car. Where can i get it from because i am in South Africa, Pretoria
The back seat looks to have an uncomfortably low sitting position.
Superb car.

And now to think all the insignias and mondeos cost peanuts compared to this car. It held its value way better.
No one is getting anything like 60MPG in a 2.0D4D diesel. im gettng mid 40s at best
My 2.0 D4D Estate gets 58mpg for local journeys butI live on A roads. 60mph for 10 minutes to my nearest shop. Over a 1000 mile month, I averaged at 52mpg.
I never speed, stay in the highest gear. Travel around 65 on motorways. I use cruise control every where, even in a 30.
I get 48 mpg in my 2.2 D4D , good economy in a 150bhp car that will cruise at 100mph on the motorway
I have just brought one on the long motorway drive home it recorded 59mpg, 3 weeks on driving to and from work mostly on A roads with a small amount of town driving it's giving 54mpg.
I am driving gently to get this and rarely exceed 1600rpm but keep up easily with the traffic and on the speed limits.
Try using a decent injector cleaner in with the fuel.hope this helps
Video well done.
Great car.
Thank you!
@@CarandDrivingCarReviews Clear, coherent, comprehensive and objective.
Unusual for such reviews.
I have a 2007 hatchback version. Few if any negatives. Among other desirable things, it is a versatile load carrier.
Do you know why the hatchback has been discontinued?
Know you'll more than likely have to do the 4 injectors around 100k miles. They're not cheap. The electric handbrake is an expensive repair if it goes wrong. Stay away from the 2.2.
Why should we stay away from the 2.2 can you explain a bit please ? I'm considering buying one and I'm interested in your opinion.
Why, what's wrong with the 2.2l?
Electric handbrake has failed on my 12 2L diesel €1800 for the part alone I’m told if they can even get it (Toyota main dealership) nothing else mechanically wrong with the car but may have to scrap because car won’t pass NCT if the fault lights are showing on the dashboard.
This or the accord?
Go to the scrappies You’ll see hundreds of Ford Mondeos lying there and 2 or 3 Toyota Avensis.

Are the 2012-2013 2.2 diesel automatics reliable?
I would suggest getting petrol
Only d4d engines are reliable
@@sarunassurvila7857 that the 1adftv engine mine is a 2014 last one before toyota changed to the crapper bmw n47 engine
@@sarunassurvila7857 reliable if properly maintained and driving more on M50 but not good for the city driving DPF gets easily blocked and expensive JLM DPF cleaner and fuel additives.
@@Hafeez_Ch786 much better less maintenance and save more euros than the D4D.
Beste car
hi
hi
Terrible car. Scrap em all
Why though 😕, I dont have one but I know few people who do they use them as taxis and they say they are great cars, very relible and comfortable. Also toyota car are still alot better then todays many other cars.
Stop trolling. U dont make sense
Tell me what shitbox you drive?
@@megataurus7779 Surely some German "Premium" shit, sitting in the workshop every week.
I'm on my second Avensis, Brilliant hassle free motoring.
