Inspection watchouts & mechanical notes

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

  • Wear on mobility assistance equipment

    What to check: Inspect the operation of wheelchair ramps, lifts, or seat adjustments during the physical inspection to ensure they function smoothly without sticking or unusual noise.

  • Hybrid battery health and service history

    What to check: Review the auction sheet for any notes on the hybrid battery condition and request service records to confirm regular maintenance of the hybrid system.

  • General body and underbody condition

    What to check: Check the auction sheet grades and request underbody photos to look for any signs of rust or damage, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis rails.

  • Odometer accuracy and export documentation

    What to check: Verify the odometer reading against the export certificate and ensure the chassis code on the documents matches the vehicle's physical plate.

  • Interior wear from commercial or hard use

    What to check: Look for excessive wear on pedals, seats, and door handles, which may indicate the car was used heavily for delivery or commercial purposes rather than private family use.

  • Compliance plate build date verification

    What to check: Confirm the build date on the compliance plate matches the SEVS approval range for the specific chassis code before finalising the purchase.
