The TOYOTA AVENSIS (2003-06) 4DR SALOON 2.4 VVTI T SPIRIT SEQ AUTO is a large family saloon, sitting above compact cars and competing with models such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. Its four-door, booted shape suits buyers wanting a traditional, practical alternative to a hatchback or SUV. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 look-ups covering seven distinct VINs, a modest sample rather than a complete picture of the model. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,400, average recorded mileage of 85,000 and around 3,000 miles driven annually; cars had about three previous keepers on average. The 2.4-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission make it appealing for relaxed commuting and longer journeys, while T Spirit trim gives it an upmarket feel. It is best for families or drivers seeking comfort and easy progress, rather than the lowest fuel bills. Against rivals, its roomy, well-equipped character and Toyota reputation stand out.
