Toyota Estima-4

Used Toyota Estima review

2006 - 2019

Likes

  • Enormous range of used examples to choose from.
  • Offers typical Toyota reliability, excellent build quality and huge support network.
  • Massively practical and filled with features and equipment.
  • Hybrid models are very fuel efficient, V6 offers impressive performance (for an MPV).
  • Offers incredible value for money.

Dislikes

  • Lacks any real sex appeal.
  • Some imports can have questionable histories.
  • Confirming imports history can be impossible.
  • Your 7-seat SUV buying friends will be jealous.

Stuff you should know

  • Depending on the region, Toyotas hugely popular 7 to 8 seat people mover may be known as Tarago, Previa, or Estima and has been around since the early 1990’s, however for this review, the focus is on the 2006 to 2019 third generation XR50.
  • In Australia, locally delivered examples are Taragos, Estimas are Japanese-sourced grey imports, and the Previa has been distributed in other markets.
  • Estimas may generally offer more equipment for a lower price compared to Taragos, although being a grey import, the Estima can sometimes be more challenging to insure and finance.
  • Engine options include a single 3.5-litre 6-cylinder and two 2.4-litre 4-cylinder petrol engines, with one of the 2.4-litre engines featuring Toyota’s renowned Hybrid technology.
  • The XR50 series shares a significant number of components with locally delivered Toyotas and Lexuses, ensuring ease of finding affordable parts and simple maintenance.
  • Depending on the model and trim, power can be sent to the front wheels or all four, although, the 4-wheel drive variants are not intended for serious off-roading.
  • Toyota updated the model multiple times during its 13-year life cycle, with significant updates in 2009 and 2016, featuring equipment changes and aesthetic refreshes.
  • Taragos offer three trim specs, while Estimas, known for their diverse Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) variants, can be a minefield of options.
  • Currently, five different JDM Estima trim specs are available locally, with varying equipment and modifications, not to mention many examples have been modified to some degree.
  • Welcab variants were produced, catering to different accessibility needs for those with special requirements.
  • Thanks to the diverse options, both Estima and Tarago variants offer a range of features to accommodate most needs, from simple people movers to luxurious 4-wheeled accommodations.
  • However, prospective buyers are urged to understand potential issues and read on to determine if the XR50 series is the right choice for you and your loved ones.

What goes wrong

Vehicle History:

  • Australian Taragos are generally less susceptible to odometer tampering, but imported models may have had their odometers removed and replaced to display lower mileage.
  • Import histories can be challenging to obtain and verify. Buyers should ensure the car comes with an Auction Report, Export Certificate, and compliance plate, and cross-check details for authenticity.
  • Some Estimas imported as 2 to 4 seat campers lack compliance certificates for 7 or 8 seat configurations, affecting insurance. Buyers must verify compliance for the intended usage.

 

Exterior:

  • Headlights may yellow, but this is easily remedied with online tutorials.
  • Sunroof leaks have been reported due to factory silicone issues. Fixing this requires sunroof removal, cleaning, and resealing—a significant job but not widely reported.
  • Powered doors may work inconsistently for some owners. While manual operation is reliable, power functions may occasionally have issues, though not extensively reported.
  • Owners suggest using a Panasonic battery when replacing the remote battery, as cheaper alternatives can reduce range and quickly deplete charge.

 

Interior:

  • Some owners have experienced electrical issues due to aftermarket accessories fitted in Japan. These problems are typically resolved easily.
  • Models with electric third-row folding seats may be prone to failure, often caused by a broken spring in the latch. Fortunately, fixing this is straightforward, with online tutorials available for guidance.

 

Mechanically:

 

  • 2AZ-FE 4-Cylinder Engine:
    • Oil consumption issues have been reported in the 2AZ-FE 4-cylinder engine.
    • Ongoing recall campaign and extended warranty due to poor design and inadequate oil rings.
    • Mitigation: Ensure a well-documented service history during pre-purchase inspection, many issues have been resolved by now.
  • 2AZ-FXE Hybrid Engine:
    • Statistically very reliable, even with minimal maintenance.
    • Rare instances of oil consumption in poorly serviced examples.
    • Isolated cases of overheating and head gasket problems, sometimes linked to a faulty electric water pump.
    • Infrequent issues with fuel injectors, EGR valve, and wiring.
    • Emphasis on the rarity of these problems; generally considered highly reliable.
  • Hybrid System:
    • Toyota’s hybrid systems are widely regarded as among the most reliable ever made.
    • Battery pack issues are exceptionally rare; replacement cells and entire packs can be done by most licensed mechanics without exorbitant costs.
  • V6 Engine:
    • V6 engines are considered one of the most reliable petrol engines ever.
    • Some early examples may have had issues with rubber external oil supply lines.
    • Later models have upgraded steel lines, eliminating the problem.
    • Occasional oil control valve issues but not a common concern.
    • Tolerance for neglect is high, with oil issues in the V6 not attributed to poor design like the 2AZ.
  • Other Potential Issues:
    • Occasionally observed leaking water pumps and slight oil

    • Air conditioning evaporators (front & rear) can pose issues, with the front one requiring extensive dash removal. However, this is not a common fault.
    • It’s important to know, import models share the vast majority of components with locally delivered models so parts and labour costs should never ask a premium.

This is probably the best channel I have ever seen when reviewing vehicles. New or old. The honesty is so appreciated. I’ve been a mechanic for 20 years and I find it very informative when looking for a vehicle for my daughter. Keep up the awesome work.
