Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 15 years old and 380,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the third‑generation Avensis (T270) family saloon available with 2.0–2.2 D‑4D diesels and a manual gearbox — common in Ireland. Key diesel‑specific items to watch are the DPF and EGR/turbo system: cars used only for short urban hops can suffer from blocked DPFs and EGR carbon build‑up. Parts and garage knowledge are widely available for Toyotas, and clutches on manual diesels can show wear on higher‑mileage 15‑year‑old examples.
- DPF condition and evidence of recent long motorway runs or forced regenerations (look for oil/soot smell, frequent warning lights).
- EGR/turbo behaviour: watch for black/blue smoke on acceleration and any turbo lag or boost leaks.
- Manual clutch engagement and pedal free play for slip or heavy wear, especially if the car has high mileage.
- Gearbox synchro and smoothness through all gears (listen for crunching or hard engagement into 3rd/5th).
- Body corrosion around rear arches, sills and suspension top mounts — check suspension for knocks and tired bushes given the age.
