Toyota Avensis, 2007, Vaasa

Toyota Avensis Wagon 2.2 D-4D – an honest project for the next skilled owner!

Here is a spacious and practical Avensis estate, ideal for someone who is not put off by a small repair list. The car is no longer like new, but still has plenty of potential in the right hands.

This Avensis has a 2.2-litre diesel engine and includes, among other things:

• Cruise control

• Trip computer

• VSC stability control

• Webasto heater (currently being rather uncooperative)

• Headlamp washers

• Comprehensive airbag system

• Service history included

There are a few technical points the next owner should be aware of.

The car is somewhat reluctant to start both cold and warm. It does eventually start every time. There may be air in the system, or another technical cause of the starting difficulty for the next owner to investigate.

The Webasto has previously been replaced, but despite this it is currently not working.

In addition:

• Air conditioning does not work

• Unusual noises come from the suspension

• A repair notice is included with the car

• Some welding is required

As for the tyres, one set of studded winter tyres with the studs removed is included. Because the studs have been removed, the tyres are not declared legal as either winter or summer tyres.

On the positive side, the service history is included, and Toyota is generally known for being capable of covering many more miles with the right repairs.

This Avensis is not intended for someone looking for a completely ready-to-use car. Instead, it is ideal for an enthusiast, mechanic or otherwise capable person who can see past the faults and recognise a good project.

If you already have a welding machine, toolbox and common sense, this could be a very affordable route to Toyota ownership. The car may not make everything easy, but at least it honestly tells you what it is missing. 🚗🔧😄
