Why a history check matters on a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Prado holds its value better than almost any AU 4WD, which means stolen-and-rebadged examples appear regularly on the private market. A NEVDIS check matches the VIN to the production record — if the compliance plate VIN doesn't exactly match what NEVDIS returns, walk away. Tow-heavy lifestyle use also means transmission and diff service history matters; the J150 generation has known auto issues if neglected.
