June 1st, 2010 Grant Wilson
We’re pleased to announce that Toyota is reinforcing its commitment to quality by introducing a new 5 year/100,000 mile warranty as standard on all new Toyota cars purchased in the UK from today, 1 June.

“By taking this major initiative we are giving our customers complete peace of mind. We want to reassure them that, in choosing a Toyota, they are getting the best in quality, reliability and durability.”

Hi Melissa,
Have not received reply to my post dated 23rd July see below,any news yet?
Thanks for your reply but I was not asking if we would be able to extend a 5 year warranty to 8 years.
What I was asking was – My car was purchased in May 2010 and came with a 3 year warranty. As Toyota are now giving a 5 year warranty on cars brought from the 1st June 10, and I purchased my car just a few weeks earlier will they extend they new 5 year warranty to cover all cars with a year 10 number plate.
Thanks
This has to be the worst marketing campaign ever. I don’t want my Toyota to be your Toyota; I want it to be my own.
I took delivery of my new Prius T Sprit on 12th May 10, am very pleased with it, and would highly recommend the Prius to anyone.
Nevertheless, I do have two questions:-
A) Although I have driven extremely carefully and even on motorways not gone over 65 MPH I am unable to get anywhere near the 70 MPG combined as stated by Toyota, only approximately 58 MPG.
How do I achieve the stated 70 MPG?
B) My Prius was built to the same standards as those now being supplied with a 5 year mechanical and 8 year battery warranty. Do Toyota intend extend their extended warranty to cover all cars with a 10 number plate?
Hi Doug,
Thanks for getting in touch, and my apologies for the time it’s taken for me to get back to you – I’ve been looking into this for you.
Although Toyota cannot confirm any details at this stage, I can tell you that it is highly likely that third-generation Prius owners will be able to extend their five-year warranty to an eight-year warranty. I’ll let you know as soon as I receive further information.
As for mpg, there are many factors that influence the mpg you get – though keeping under 65mph is a good start! Tyre wear, air temperature, acceleration and road surface are just some of these factors. Getting 70mpg is certainly achievable, though, as blog users David and Grumpy Cabbie can testify.
Feel free to come back to me with any further questions. Once again, I’m sorry for the delayed reply.

Hi,
I have booked Toyota Avensis and the date of registration on V5 document mentioned as 28th May and the vechile was delivered on 5th June 2010. I have been told by local toyota centre that I will be covered on 5 year warranty, but there are no documents supporting this. I did ask for this and was told that all new vechiles are covered under 5 year warranty and no proof is required. Can anyone confirm this…Thanks
It is very interesting that you are still moderating my comment after 10 days without any response!
Just wondering.
I ordered a new Prius 3 weeks ago. It will not be delivered for another 12 weeks. Will Toyota extend the 5 years warranty for my car? Surely, being a new order Toyota will honour ALL new cars on order?
Hi Al,
Please contact the Toyota Centre that you ordered the Prius from – they are best placed to help you here. However, if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks.
