The TOYOTA AVENSIS (2003-06) 4DR SALOON 2.0 D-4D COLOUR COLLECTION is a family-sized four-door saloon, offering more space and comfort than a small hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it is a mainstream family car, competing with the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Mycarcheck.com has recorded seven checks across seven distinct cars, so this is a small sample, not a broad market picture. In these checks, the average private-sale valuation is £900, recorded mileage averages 103,000 miles, and annual use averages 9,000 miles. Previous keepers average around 2.7. The 2.0-litre D-4D diesel suits commuters and families covering longer journeys, while the saloon’s cabin and boot make trips practical. It is less suited to city driving than a small car, but offers a comfortable alternative to a hatchback. The Colour Collection is a trim, so check equipment and condition.
