Faults:

The front brake discs were gone and it had a blown head gasket when we first got it. Repaired under warranty though.

Electrics are faulty - battery goes flat regularly every month or so, even though it's a brand new large battery.

Wheel bearings on both front wheels needed replacing under warranty.

Surprisingly unreliable for a Toyota.

General Comments:

Excellent for space and comfort, but very thirsty and way underpowered. Should be a 3 litre.

Does only 6-7km per litre round town, and struggles on hills, though great cruising on flat roads.

Faults:

The auto transmission is starting to slip intermittently, the trim on the seats are starting to wear.

Replaced two starter motors (exchange)

The rear brake light bulbs often blow in the rear door. (I think this is from the closing (slamming) of the rear door.

General Comments:

Highly reliable vehicle it has never let us down, smooth operation in transporting my wife and five children in comfort.

The driving position is comfortable, the cabin is spacious especially the raked wind screen which provides excellent forward vision from a high vantage point.

The positioning of the motor centralised and lowered affords the Pervia with car like handling, after 350 000 km the vehicle is still going strong.
