Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty

Toyota has designed and manufactured your Toyota vehicle to provide trouble-free motoring subject to it being properly maintained, used for its intended purpose, unmodified and treated with care.

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty applies to selected Toyota vehicles that are:

  • manufactured in 2018;
  • first registered in Australia from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018;
  • sold as a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned (TCPO) vehicle from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021; and
  • not used for commercial purposes*.

Eligible vehicles

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty applies to eligible vehicles on the terms and conditions below.

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law statutory consumer guarantees.

The New Vehicle Warranty expires 3 years from the date the eligible vehicle was first delivered to its original purchaser, or 100,000kms (whichever occurs first). You can find out when the New Vehicle Warranty expires by checking the Warranty and Service book.

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty applies to eligible vehicles once the New Vehicle Warranty has expired. The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty expires 2 years from the date that the New Vehicle Warranty period expires, or at 160,000 kms total odometer reading (whichever occurs first).

We'll keep you mobile

If a defect covered by the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty causes your vehicle to be undriveable, towing to the nearest Toyota Dealer and a loan car is covered.

Your Rights under the Statutory Consumer Guarantees

We will always honour your rights under the Australian Consumer Law which may in some circumstances exceed your rights under the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty.

* Commercial application

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty does not apply for vehicles used for commercial purposes, such as taxis, hire vehicles and vehicles transporting people or goods for payment (including on a part-time or casual basis, and rideshare). Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law statutory consumer guarantees may still apply, and may exceed your rights under the applicable Toyota Warranty.

Important Notice

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty or other applicable Toyota warranties do not limit the Australian Consumer Law statutory consumer guarantees in any way.

In some circumstances your rights under the Australian Consumer Law statutory consumer guarantees may be greater than your rights under the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty or other applicable Toyota warranty, in which case Toyota will always honour your rights under the Australian Consumer Law statutory consumer guarantees.

Terms and Conditions

Your responsibilities

You must operate, maintain and care for your Toyota properly, in accordance with the instructions in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual and Warranty and Service book.

The best way to maintain your vehicle is through a Toyota Dealer. By having your Toyota vehicle maintained at a Toyota Dealer, you’ll be in safe hands knowing that your vehicle is being serviced by experts and will always be fitted with Toyota Genuine Parts. Doing so keeps your Toyota in the very best condition.

To make a claim under the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranty, contact an authorised Toyota Dealer. If your name or address has changed or you are the new owner of a Toyota, please visit the Toyota Owner’s Portal: toyota.com.au/owners or contact the Toyota Guest Experience Centre to update the information for your vehicle.

If for some reason the odometer is changed, please have your Toyota Authorised Service Centre verify the date of the change and kilometres travelled on the form located at the back of your vehicle’s Warranty and Service book.
