About the Toyota 70 Series Welcab
The Toyota 70 Series Welcab is a wheelchair-accessible minivan based on the Noah or Voxy, built specifically for the Japanese domestic market. It suits families or individuals needing a practical, accessible vehicle for daily travel, school runs, or community activities. In Australia, these cars are valued for their spacious interiors and dedicated accessibility features, making them a sensible choice for those who find standard minivans difficult to navigate with mobility aids.
We source these vehicles from Japanese auctions, where they are listed under specific chassis codes. The SEVS approval covers the ZRR70 (2WD) and ZRR75 (4WD) variants built between June 2007 and December 2013. Because the Welcab is a specialised conversion, it is distinct from standard Noah or Voxy models, and we ensure the exact car you bid on falls within these approved build dates and chassis codes.
We don’t publish general auction prices for this model, as availability and condition vary significantly. Instead, we invite you to ask us to search for a specific car. We will identify suitable examples, check the auction sheets, and provide a landed estimate for the exact vehicle before you commit to bidding.

Wear on wheelchair lift or ramp mechanism
What to check: Inspect the operation of the lift or ramp for smooth movement and check for any hydraulic leaks or unusual noises during the physical inspection.
