The full story
Only Toyota vehicles with a full service history are able to become a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle, ensuring it has been maintained to factory specification. But we do more than just check its service history, we also perform a rigorous PPSR check, searching Australia’s largest database of consumer and business credit records.
Your Government certified PPSR vehicle check will contain:
- A PPSR Certificate to ensure no loan or finance payments are still owing
- A written off vehicle check
- A stolen vehicle check
- A flood and storm damage check
- An odometer wind back check
1 year free Toyota Roadside AssistP9
Drive with the confidence that comes from knowing you have one year’s worth of Toyota Roadside Assist. Available 24/7 for 365 days, your Roadside Assist coverage begins from the date of your Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle delivery and covers flat tyres, a lockout service, jump starts, petrol delivery and, if needed, towing to the nearest Toyota Dealership.
Toyota Service Advantage
If you buy a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle within its Toyota Service Advantage period, you'll also enjoy the benefits of capped price servicing, meaning one low price for each of those remaining services. Each logbook service is conducted by Toyota Technicians using Toyota Genuine Parts so you can be confident your Toyota is getting the best care.
