1. Engine & Powertrain

PASS
  • Cold and warm starts produced no abnormal noises; idle quality is smooth and consistent across the rev range.
  • Engine oil level is within range; oil appears dark but not degraded, consistent with current service interval.
  • No visible coolant-oil mixing detected; coolant is at proper level and clean fluorescent green with no contamination.
  • Accessory belts and upper radiator hoses are pliable with no cracking or seepage; no leaks observed around valve cover or front timing cover.

Notes: Recommend oil change as maintenance is approaching interval.

2. Transmission & Driveline

PASS w/ NOTE
  • 6-speed automatic shifts smoothly through all forward gears and reverse with no slip, flare, or harsh engagement.
  • 4WD system engages properly in 4High and 4Low; transfer case shifts smoothly with no binding.
  • Front and rear differential housings are dry with no seepage at pinion or cover seals.
  • Minor driveline lash present when transitioning from coast to throttle, typical for this mileage and drivetrain configuration.

Notes: Transfer case and differential fluid replacement recommended at next service interval.

3. Exhaust & Emissions

PASS
  • Exhaust system is intact with no leaks detected at manifold, catalytic converter, or muffler connections.
  • O2 sensor monitors and catalytic converter readiness show complete on scan tool with no pending codes.
  • No visible smoke from tailpipe at idle or under load; exhaust odour is normal.
  • Emissions readiness check passed all monitors with no stored or pending DTCs.

4. Fluids

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Engine oil is dark but at correct level; due for change based on mileage since last service.
  • Brake fluid is at proper level, light amber with minimal moisture content.
  • Power steering fluid is clean and at full level; no whine or assist issues.
  • Front and rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid appear to be at correct levels but condition suggests they are due for replacement based on age and mileage.

Notes: Transfer case and both differentials due for fluid service.

5. Brakes

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Front brake pads measure approximately 4mm remaining; rotors show light scoring but are within spec for resurfacing or continued use.
  • Rear brake pads measure approximately 5mm remaining; rotors are in good condition with no significant scoring.
  • Brake fluid is at proper level with good pedal feel; no sponginess or excessive travel.
  • Parking brake engages and holds vehicle on incline; releases fully with no drag.

Notes: Front pads will need replacement within approximately 15,000 km.

6. Tires & Wheels

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Front tires measure 5/32-inch tread depth remaining; wear pattern is even across the contact patch.
  • Rear tires measure 6/32-inch tread depth remaining; even wear with no cupping or feathering.
  • All four tires are a matching set of all-season tires; TPMS sensors read correctly on all four wheels.
  • Minor curb rash present on one rear alloy wheel; no sidewall damage or bubbles observed on any tire.

Notes: Front tires will require replacement before next winter season.

7. Suspension & Steering

PASS
  • Front lower control arm bushings and ball joints are tight with no play detected during inspection.
  • Tie rod ends and sway bar links are secure with no excessive play or clunking.
  • Front and rear shocks show no signs of leakage; damping feels controlled during bounce test.
  • Steering is responsive with no excessive play; vehicle tracks straight on level surface with no pulling.

8. Electrical & Electronics

PASS
  • 12V battery voltage reads 12.6V at rest; charging voltage is 14.2V with engine running.
  • Full module scan returned no stored or pending DTCs across all control modules.
  • All exterior lights, headlights, and signal indicators function correctly; wipers operate normally on all settings.
  • Infotainment system, power windows, power locks, and power accessories all operate as intended.

9. Safety Systems

PASS
  • Airbag system scan shows no faults; SRS warning light illuminates and extinguishes normally at startup.
  • ABS and ESC/traction control systems function correctly with no DTCs; warning lights cycle normally.
  • Backup camera displays clear image with grid lines; sensors respond accurately.
  • Toyota Safety Sense features including pre-collision system, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control all tested operational.

10. Exterior & Interior

PASS

11. Road Test

PASS
  • Urban driving: smooth acceleration from stop, transmission shifts seamlessly between gears, braking is straight and progressive with no pull.
  • Highway driving: vehicle reaches speed effortlessly, maintains cruise control set speed, and tracks straight with no wandering.
  • No vibrations detected at any speed; steering feel is tight and responsive through corners.
  • No unusual noises from engine, driveline, or suspension during acceleration, coasting, or braking; no DTCs appeared during the drive.
Overall verdict
PASS w/ NOTE Vehicle is in good mechanical condition for its age and mileage with no safety concerns; minor maintenance items including front brake pads, tire replacement before winter, and driveline fluid service are recommended in the near term.
