Not buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle? Look for these fundamental characteristics in a Used Toyota Fortuner 

One of the Toyota Fortuner stand-up features is the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating that it scored when tested in 2019. Features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assistance, and road sign recognition. This is on top of the standard Toyota safety features of seven airbags with curtain airbags in the third-row standard in all three models.  

However, many things need to be considered and examined closely when considering a used car purchase. Signs of neglect or misuse are not always easy to spot. 

Check the body and paint - ask about recent repairs

The Toyota Fortuner shares the rugged looks and underpinning of the Toyota Hilux 4x4 ute, so many are purchased for the purpose of rugged terrain adventuring. In the hands of an expert driver, this means a quick hose off and back to soccer practice. However, be aware of the dual use of this vehicle and check thoroughly for damage to the body. Fresh repairs with brighter paint patches or mismatched paint should lead to more questions. Finally, compare all the VIN plates to ensure they are honest with repairs or legal ownership.  

Service history

The Toyota Fortuner has excellent warranty coverage of a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty and five years capped servicing, which averages $240.00 per service. So there are many reasons to get excited about avoiding a void on your warranty.  

First, check the services have been carried out every six months/10,000km as expected. If not, the warranty may be void, and there may be other issues that they have neglected or failed to maintain.  

Reported history

Checking any used vehicle's reported history and roadworthy certificate is not a step to skip. All the reported history should be reviewed to ensure you are getting a well-cared for and high-quality used Fortuner. The reports reveal if your choice of vehicle has been stolen, tampered with, involved in an accident, or neglected. Drive your vehicle away, confident that you have an asset to take you on adventures in safety and comfort with reliability in performance and expectations.  

Check any accessories and additions

It's no secret that the Fortuner was "Bred for Adventure", and a big part of adventure can be the desire for accessories. 

Having accessories added may not cause problems for your warranty if they are genuine Toyota Parts and have been fitted correctly by certified and qualified installers.  

However, installing a catch can will almost certainly void the warranty on your engine and cause damage that will not be covered under warranty.  

Furthermore, the fitting of non-genuine aftermarket parts to your potential Toyota Fortuner can cause damage to even the newest model over a short period because, unlike the genuine Toyota Parts, they are not designed with that specific model and specs in mind. As a result, parts can be ill-fitting, cause rust, damage to seals, paintwork, and the roof structure's integrity.  

Ask all the questions about accessories, and if in doubt, get the car looked over by a certified Toyota Technician at your Toyota Service Shop.
