Avensis T25 1.8 Seq Auto Buying Advice Needed

[AvensisNW]

Hi All,

So after getting a new clutch on my 2008 1.8 TR I got rear-ended less than a fortnight later, and now she has been written-off! Sob!

I am looking at a one-owner 2008 1.8 Sequential Auto TR with FSH with 68k on the clock. I am assuming it is the normal tale of excellent reliability, but I thought I would ask the group what they know?

Thanks for any help.

Check the brakes, as they tend to wear out quicker than many other cars. Do also check the maintenance record, look for rust underneath the car, check the suspension control arms. As it's a late 1ZZ it shouldn't have the oil consumption issue. Other than that, check the transmission oil dipstick (while the engine is running at operating temp, after cycling through the gears). Make sure the level is correct and that the fluid isn't burnt.
