buying a used 150 series prado, what to look for??

[j_man_84]

Hey guys as the title suggests after a used 2011/12 150 series turbo diesel auto prado for the wife but just wanted to hear from experience what to look out for on them and what are the common issues?
As we all know about the hilux and injector issues does the prado run the same type with the same issues? if so roughly around how many kms etc would they start to play up, I know dirty fuel is an issue for them.
The vehicle will be ex lease (q fleet) as I can save a bit of money here.

Any help or info would be great on these models.

Definitely make sure the timing belt has been replaced at the correct intervals otherwise blown engine will be the result and they are very expensive to get rebuilt

Like any used 4wd, check for sand in the chassis rails etc and avoid it if you find any.

To many soccer mum models around to buy one already exposed to salt.
