I bought a 3-year old Toyota Hilux Double Cab pick-up in November 2012. It was supposed to have come straight from Toyota with a full service history, according to the selling garage. A few weeks later I took it to a Toyota franchised garage who informed me the brake fluid was dirty and the air filter was blocked, and the vehicle was ex-lease. I contacted the garage whose two service stamps were in the service book. They checked and informed me they had no record of this vehicle being in their garage. When I described the truck to them they then informed me that it had belonged to a friend of the proprietor of the garage that had supposedly serviced it. I wrote to the garage who supplied the vehicle, rejecting it, and I received quite a nasty reply. I wrote to Toyota GB who advised me to contact Trading Standards. The TSOs had to contact the service garage twice before they confirmed the excuse for not having a record of the servicing was that the hard drive on their computer had frazzled. Trading Standards contacted Toyota Finance who originally owned the vehicle and they said that the vehicle had been sold via Manheim Auctions. When I contacted Toyota Finance to obtain further documentation regarding the servicing of the vehicle they said they could not supply it. As the Toyota Servicing Book recommends that the brake fluid should be changed every two years, and at the third year the fluid was dirty, it appears that this vehicle had never had a service for two years. I am very concerned as to what damage this can cause to the life of the engine. I intend to take this matter to Court and I would appreciate your input regarding this matter.
