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 23 November 2024.

    What to do: Renewal is the seller’s responsibility. Settle it before money changes hands.

Everything we checked

Not just what we found. Each check is listed with what it means and how it came back.

Title brands

Legal marks applied to a vehicle’s title by an insurer or state authority.

  • Salvage

    An insurer or state authority declared the vehicle a total loss.

    No record
  • Junk / scrap

    Declared incapable of safe operation and fit only for parts or scrap. Should never be re-titled.

    No record
  • Flood / water damage

    Damaged by flood water. Flood cars develop electrical and corrosion faults for years afterwards.

    No record
  • Fire damage

    Damaged by fire.

    No record
  • Hail damage

    Damaged by hail. Usually cosmetic, but often extensive.

    No record
  • Rebuilt

    Previously written off, since repaired and returned to the road. Resale value and insurability are affected.

    Record found

Condition & history

Events reported against this VIN by authorities, insurers and auctions.

  • Accident records

    Collision or damage reported by a state authority, insurer or repairer.

    Record found
  • Odometer rollback

    A mileage reading lower than an earlier one. Mileage cannot decrease, so this indicates tampering.

    Record found
  • Stolen — US records

    Reported stolen to a US law-enforcement database and not recorded as recovered.

    No record
  • Open safety recall

    A manufacturer safety recall with no matching repair record.

    No record
  • Salvage auction listing

    Passed through a damaged-vehicle auction — the most common route for wrecked US cars into this market.

    Record found

Nigerian status

Local records — the checks a foreign report cannot perform.

  • Import duty paid

    Whether Nigeria Customs recorded duty as paid. A vehicle with unpaid duty can be seized and cannot be cleanly transferred.

    No record
  • Registration valid

    Whether the vehicle carries a current registration.

    Record found
  • Stolen — Nigerian register

    Whether the VIN appears on a Nigerian police stolen-vehicle record.

    No record
  • Insurance in force

    Whether a current insurance policy is recorded against the vehicle.

    No record

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.

Recall13V01400016 Jan 2013

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.
Recall13V44200017 Oct 2013

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.
