Inspection watchouts & mechanical notes

Commonly reported on the Toyota Alphard: worth checking on the auction sheet, the inspection report or the service history before you bid.

  • Worn hybrid battery or inverter system

    What to check: Review the auction sheet for any notes on hybrid system health and request a recent battery health report if available.

    Applies to: Alphard hybrid 20, 30, and 40 series

  • Signs of commercial or taxi use

    What to check: Inspect the interior for excessive wear on seats and carpets, and check the odometer history for consistent high-mileage patterns.

    What to check: Check for uneven tyre wear and listen for knocking noises during a test drive if possible, or review auction notes for suspension issues.

  • Outdated service history

    What to check: Verify that regular maintenance was performed by checking service records or auction sheet notes on recent servicing.

  • Interior damage or stains

    What to check: Look for photos of the rear seats and floor mats to check for stains, tears, or odour indicators.

Toyota Alphard import FAQ

Can I import a Toyota Alphard to Australia?
Yes, you can import a Toyota Alphard if it falls within the SEVS build ranges. For example, AYH30 models built from July 2019 to June 2023, or AGH40 models built from June 2023 onwards, are eligible. We confirm the exact car's SEVS eligibility before you bid.
How do you find a Toyota Alphard for me?
We search Japanese auctions for vehicles that match your budget, preferred colour, and condition. As of November 2026, we see around 245 Alphards sold per month, so we can find a suitable example for most buyers.
Which Toyota Alphard models does the SEVS approval cover?
SEVS approvals cover various chassis codes including AYH30 (July 2019–June 2023), AGH40 (June 2023 onwards), and earlier series like ANH20/25 (January 2008–December 2015). We verify the specific chassis code and build date of each car.
What should I check before buying a Toyota Alphard at a Japanese auction?
Check the auction sheet for grade, rust notes, and any mechanical issues. Also, verify the odometer reading and ensure the export certificate matches the vehicle's details. For hybrids, pay extra attention to the battery health notes.
What happens after we buy a Toyota Alphard for you?
We arrange shipping from Japan to Australia, handle customs clearance, and then bring the vehicle to our Brisbane workshop for compliance under the SEVS approval. Once compliant, we assist with registration in Queensland.
