OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 83 109 / Bosch 0 986 494 187

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota Avensis (T270 2009-2018) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake pads are sold by caliper system (ATE / Teves, TRW / Lucas, Bosch, Akebono, Brembo etc.) and by pad size, and one model usually has two or three pad sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a wrong size will not fit the caliper. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with their width x height x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old pad or check the caliper system against your VIN before ordering, and fit a new wear sensor where the set is only 'prepared for' one.

Front brake pads (aftermarket)	Brembo P 83 109 (151 x 65 x 19 mm, acoustic warning with 2 indicators, Bosch system, piston clip and anti-squeak plate); Brembo P 83 148 (151 x 61 x 19 mm, 2 indicators, Bosch system); Bosch 0 986 494 187 (151.1 x 62.5/65.3 x 19.3 mm, acoustic warning, Bosch system, anti-squeak plate); Bosch 0 986 494 682 (150.8 x 61.1 x 19.1 mm, acoustic warning); TRW GDB3479 (151 x 62.5/65.4 x 19 mm, acoustic warning, Bosch system, directional); ATE 13.0460-5603.2 (150.7 x 62.5/65.3 x 19.2 mm, acoustic warning, accessories included); Textar 2466801 (150.8 x 65.3 x 19.3 mm, 2 indicators, Bosch system, accessories included).
Pad sizes & variants	All front sets are about 151 mm wide and 19 mm thick. Height is 62.5/65 mm on the common pad and 61 mm on the alternative (Brembo P 83 148, Bosch 0 986 494 682, ATE 13.0460-5615.2), which reflects a different brake specification.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	Acoustic wear warning on all sets listed. The 61 mm height pads are the alternative to the 65 mm pads, so check which your car has.

A Genuine, Documented Technical Bulletin Worth Knowing About — Toyota Avensis Brake Pads

If you experience a clonk when first moving off after the car has sat parked and wet for several days, followed by a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal, this is genuinely worth knowing: a documented Technical Service Bulletin covers exactly this fault, where a section of brake pad material can delaminate and fall away from the backing plate after prolonged wet standing. This is a genuine, recognised issue with an associated warranty repair path — worth mentioning this specific symptom pattern directly to your dealer.

Worth knowing if your car is a hybrid: regenerative braking means the electric motor handles a significant portion of everyday deceleration, considerably reducing wear on the physical friction brakes compared with a conventional petrol equivalent. It's genuinely not unusual for hybrid brake pads to still have plenty of life remaining at mileages where a conventional car's pads would be due replacement.

It's also worth knowing that a squeal appearing specifically after washing the car is commonly just light surface corrosion on the discs rather than a genuine fault — a firm brake application or two typically clears it.

Toyota Avensis Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the Avensis uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.

Before you buy: pad size and compound vary by engine and trim. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Toyota Avensis Brake Pads: What They Do

Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the Avensis with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.

Common Sizes

2009-2019, rear pad, genuine reference	Confirm exact fitment via VIN — pad size on this model genuinely varies by engine and trim, not just by generation.
T27 generation, standard front pads	Sized to match the 295mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
T25 generation (2003-2008), front pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 295mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
