TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED Frequently Asked Questions
Back to Certified Program
Q. Can all Toyotas be Certified?
A. No. First, the Toyota must have less than 85,000 miles on the odometer, and can only be the current model or six model years back. Additionally, the vehicle must have a Vehicle History Report run on it, and it must pass a comprehensive 160 Point Quality Assurance Inspection. These requirements ensure that only the best of the best are eligible for Toyota Certification.
Q. Where can I purchase a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle?
A. Toyota Certified Used Vehicles are available exclusively from your Toyota dealers.
Q. What is a Vehicle History Report and how does it work?
A. Currently, Vehicle History Reports (VHR) are available to auto auctions, dealers and the general public, and are highly recommended for anyone in the market to purchase a used vehicle. At Toyota, we go a step further by requiring a VHR be run on each Toyota before it can become a Certified Used Vehicle. With a VHR we can tell if a vehicle has had major structural damage, been previously declared a total loss or has any odometer discrepancies. The VHR also helps to protect the integrity of the Toyota Certified process by disqualifying any vehicle that does not meet our high standards.
Q. What is Roadside Assistance?
A. Roadside Assistance is a complimentary 7-year/100,000-mile (from original date of first use when purchased as new) [3] 24-hour roadside service that comes with each Toyota Certified Used Vehicle.
