Do NOT drive on current rear tyres
Rear tyres are at 0 mm — illegal in every country. Tow or flat-bed the vehicle from port to your workshop. Plan complete tyre replacement BEFORE any road use.
Toyota dealer diagnostic for both warning lights
Lane Departure + Collision Mitigation Brake warning lights both ON. Get a full diagnostic scan before driving — failed cameras or radar sensors are common in 100,000+ km Aqua models.
Paint-depth gauge check on both front doors
Matching B1 dents on left AND right front doors is unusual. A 30-second gauge check confirms whether either door has been repainted or filled — important for resale value.
Hybrid battery health check
At 115,828 km the original NiMH traction battery may have reduced capacity. A health check costs USD 50-100 and confirms whether replacement (USD 1,500-2,500) is imminent.
Budget USD 2,500-4,000 for full rebuild
New tyres + safety system repair + paint work + headlight restoration + interior refurb · this vehicle needs significant investment to reach turn-key condition. Make sure your total budget fits.
