Toyota Warranty
Following the massive global recall scandal that Toyota suffered in 2009 and 2010, Toyota increased their warranty coverage from 3 years to 5 years or 100,000 miles on all new cars.
As with many manufacturers, there is no limit on the car’s mileage for the first year.
Also like many other manufacturer warranties, there are significant limitations; the warranty covers any mechanical fault caused by a manufacturing defect, but it does not cover items breaking down due to ‘wear and tear.’
Toyota also exclude damage or failures resulting directly or indirectly from external elements.
So Toyota owners can still expect to get bills from their MOTs and services as cars get older. For that reason, many Toyota owners buy aftermarket warranties, to protect themselves from bills. Compare the available cover using our comparison table.

Anti-corrosion Element
Toyota’s bodywork corrosion warranty is longer than many. Currently set at 12 years unlimited mileage. It protects you against from repairing rust perforation that affects sheet metal body panels as a result of a manufacturing fault. 3 year unlimited mileage cover protects against defects and surface rust as a result of a manufacturing defect. But Toyota exclude ‘Incidental damage’ in their wider warranty terms, so there may be scope for them to legitimately not pay on many rust claims.
Hybrid Element
Toyota’s Hybrid components, on cars made between 2003 and 2009 are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. Hybrid components that are built in, or after the start of the 2009 model year are only covered for 5 years or 100,000 miles.
