Toyota Warranty: What to Expect

The Toyota Warranty is an assurance of quality and reliability for customers who purchase a new Toyota vehicle. It provides coverage for repairs should any defects be found in the material or workmanship of their car. The warranty also covers parts, labour, and diagnostic costs associated with repairing any covered defects that may arise during the warranty period.

What does the Toyota Warranty cover?

All new Toyota vehicles purchased in the UK can receive up to 10 years or 100,000 miles (whichever occurs first) of Toyota warranty. This is comprised of a manufacturer’s warranty for the first three years, followed by up to seven years of service-activated warranty.

During the initial three years of a new car’s life, a manufacturer warranty will be active and drivers may opt to service the vehicle at any location. Once the manufacturer’s warranty has elapsed, those who have their Toyota cars serviced at an authorised Toyota centre will receive an extra 12 months (or 10,000 miles) of warranty coverage. This coverage extends until the car reaches 10 years of age or reaches 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

By taking advantage of both the manufacturer’s warranty and the service-activated warranty, Toyota owners are able to enjoy up to 10 years (or 100,000 miles) of Toyota warranty coverage. This provides a sense of security, allowing owners to relax knowing that they and their vehicles are in good hands.

Additionally, this warranty is valid for all types of powertrains, including market-leading hybrids, conventional petrol and diesel models, as well as cutting-edge battery electric vehicles.

How long is the warranty on Toyota?

New Toyota customers will receive a manufacturer’s warranty lasting three years or 60,000 miles, unless the Toyota was ordered prior to 1^st June 2021, in which case the warranty will last five years or 100,000 miles.

Once the manufacturer’s warranty has expired, owners who choose to have their Toyota serviced at an authorised Toyota centre will receive an additional 12 months (or 10,000 miles) of warranty coverage, extending until the car reaches 10 years of age or 100,000 miles.

For vehicles that require service every two years, a 24-month/20,000-mile warranty will be automatically activated. This warranty will be renewed after each subsequent qualifying service at an authorised Toyota centre until the ten-year or 100,000-mile limit is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Below are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) along with their answers to help you navigate the Toyota Warranty.

What does the Toyota 100 000-mile warranty cover?

Toyota warranty offers coverage for the same parts and labour as the three-year manufacturer’s warranty provided with new Toyota vehicles and the one-year manufacturer warranty that comes as standard with approved used vehicles. However, it does not include wear and tear items, bodywork, paint, interior trims, and maintenance parts.

As part of the service package, the warranty also includes a vehicle health check for all mechanical and electronic parts, which helps detect potential problems at an early stage. It’s worth noting that any pre-existing defects at the time of service are not covered by the warranty.

This applies to all eligible vehicles, from those that have just completed their new vehicle warranty period to high-mileage models that have passed through multiple ownerships without any prior Toyota service history.

Which cars are eligible for the Toyota Warranty?

The Toyota Warranty is extensive and covers all Toyota passenger cars, Toyota Professional light commercial vans and pick-ups, as well as the latest Toyota GR performance models.

The warranty also includes any powertrain type, providing the same level of coverage for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, as well as for models with petrol and diesel internal combustion engines, and the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell saloon.

What is included in a Toyota powertrain warranty?

There are a number of things covered in the powertrain warranty, from engine and petrol/diesel fuel systems to manual/automatic gearboxes.

Is paint covered under Toyota Warranty?

Unfortunately, body and paint features; such as lights, lamps, bulbs, lenses, panels, bumpers, glass, chrome, antenna, handles and fabric, exterior trim, weather strips, and shiny metals (metal parts without any coating) paint; are not covered under the Toyota Warranty.

Can you buy Toyota Warranty after purchase?

No, the warranty is automatically activated following the completion of a full or interim service.
