The TOYOTA AVENSIS (2009-12) 4DR SALOON 2.2 D-CAT 150 T SPIRIT AUTO6 is a roomy family saloon, offering four doors and a generous boot. In the UK used-car market, it is a practical alternative to a large hatchback or SUV, competing with the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat. The 2.2-litre diesel, six-speed automatic and T Spirit trim suit longer commutes, motorway journeys and family use. It offers a composed drive and well-equipped cabin; its diesel engine is most appealing to drivers who cover distance. As with any older car, buyers should carefully check the condition and service history. mycarcheck.com data covers 38 look-ups and 26 distinct VINs, a useful but modest snapshot.

Treat these figures as context, and assess each car individually before making a buying decision.
