What you need to know
Ranked by how much it should affect your decision.
- Serious
Branded title: Rebuilt
An insurer or state authority declared this vehicle a total loss. It was repaired and put back on the road. Structural integrity, airbags and electronics are frequently compromised on these cars.
What to do: Have an independent mechanic inspect the chassis and airbag system before you pay anything. Expect a large discount, and expect difficulty reselling.
- Serious
1 severe accident recorded
9 June 2016 — Rear-end collision ($9,339 damage)
What to do: Structural damage. Insist on a professional chassis inspection.
- Serious
Odometer reading went backwards
A reading of 63,114 km on 12 March 2016 is followed by 52,121 km on 13 May 2020 — a drop of 10,993 km. Mileage cannot decrease.
What to do: This is the signature of a rolled-back odometer. Treat the displayed mileage as unreliable and price the car on its true age and condition.
- Attention
Sold through a damaged-vehicle auction
This vehicle passed through a salvage auction — the most common route for wrecked US cars into the Nigerian market.
What to do: Ask the seller directly what was repaired, and who did the work.
- Attention
Vehicle registration has lapsed
Registration expired on 24 August 2026.
What to do: Renewal is the seller’s responsibility. Settle it before money changes hands.

What “No record” means. No contributing source reported that problem against this VIN. It is not proof the event never happened — a car repaired privately, with no insurance claim and no police report, leaves no record anywhere. Records show what was filed.

Safety, recalls & known faults
Published by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Free, public data — and the one part of this report that is fully live.
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE
- The defect
- Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
- What can happen
- If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
- The fix
- Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
- What can happen
- A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
- The fix
- Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Recall work is normally free, even for a used car and even years later — the manufacturer pays, not you. Quote the campaign number to a franchised dealer. Ask the seller for proof the work was done; a recall listed here is not proof it is outstanding on this particular car, only that the campaign exists for the model.

Crash ratings are published by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for this model and year. They describe the model as tested, not the condition of this particular vehicle — a car that has been in a serious accident no longer performs like one straight off the line.

These are complaints about the model, not this car. A popular model will always collect more reports simply because more of them exist. Use it to know what to inspect closely — if owners repeatedly report the same component, have your mechanic check it.
Fuel economy & CO2

CO₂ emissions 197 g/km
Band FUS EPA figures for this model as new. Real-world consumption is usually 10–20% higher, and rises further on a poorly maintained engine. A big gap between this figure and what the seller reports can itself be a warning sign.

Unusually low — verify itComparison assumes 15,000 km per year. Genuinely low mileage exists — but it is also exactly what a rolled-back odometer looks like, so ask for service records that corroborate it.
