Toyota Warranty

4. Toyota warrants that its vehicles are built in line with industry standards. Should any part of the vehicle require repair or replacement as a result of a manufacturing defect during the Manufacturer Warranty period or Approved Used Warranty period, the part will be repaired or replaced as necessary, completely free of charge, by any repairer, regardless of any change of vehicle ownership during the period of cover.

5. The Additional Warranty will commence and continue following expiry of the Manufacturer Warranty or Approved Used Warranty at no extra cost and regardless of any change of vehicle ownership subject to these Terms and Conditions. The Additional Warranty covers the same parts and labour as the Manufacturer Warranty provided but repairs must be carried out by an Authorised Toyota Repairer.

Eligibility Criteria

6. The Additional Warranty is a warranty which is activated automatically on completion of a scheduled full or interim vehicle service at an Authorised Toyota Repairer ("Service"). By keeping to their vehicle’s recommended service schedule;

a) Customers can gain an additional 12 months/10,000 miles (whichever comes first) warranty from each Service, year after year, until the 10-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit is reached.

b) Customers whose vehicles have a 24-month service interval are required to get their vehicle serviced every 24 months instead of every 12 months, can gain additional 24 months/20,000 mile (whichever comes first) warranty from each Service, every two years, until the 10- year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit is reached.

The 10-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit runs from the day the vehicle was first registered.

7. All Toyota models qualify for the Additional Warranty, but the application of the warranty will vary depending on the vehicle age and mileage, as follows:

a. New vehicles ordered before 1 June 2021: The Manufacturer Warranty applies for 5 years/100,000 mile (whichever comes first) from the vehicle registration date.

d. Used vehicles between 2-3 years old with a 3-year Manufacturer Warranty and sold under Toyota Approved Used programme: The Manufacturer Warranty will continue to apply until the 3-year period expires. The remaining balance on the Manufacturer Warranty will be topped up by the Approved Used Warranty to provide a total of 12 months' warranty cover from sale. Thereafter, customers can qualify on the Additional Warranty until the 10- year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit is reached.

e. Used vehicles between 4-5 years old with a 5-year Manufacturer Warranty and sold under Toyota Approved Used programme: The Manufacturer Warranty will continue to apply until the 5-year period expires.

f. Used vehicles over 3 or 5 years old (Manufacturer Warranty dependent) and sold under Toyota Approved Used programme: The Manufacturer Warranty no longer applies.
