If you're driving a Toyota Proace from the 2013 model year onwards, you already understand the value it brings in terms of reliability and performance. However, like any vehicle, certain issues can arise over time, particularly with the engine. Here's where the concept of a reconditioned engine often becomes relevant.
The need for a reconditioned engine typically stems from several underlying issues that might affect your Toyota Proace. Common causes often include overheating, oil leaks, or prolonged wear and tear, which can lead to more serious complications like blown head gaskets or cracked engine blocks. You might notice symptoms such as excessive exhaust smoke, a significant drop in oil pressure, or abnormal knocking noises from the engine bay. These signs suggest that the engine might be nearing the end of its operational life.
Repairing an engine, especially a modern one like in the Toyota Proace, involves a detailed process. It starts with a thorough diagnosis to confirm the extent of the damage. The engine is then either rebuilt or replaced with a Toyota Proace (2013 to present) Reconditioned Engine. Rebuilding might involve the replacement of pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, and seals. However, if the damage is extensive, installing a reconditioned engine might be more cost-effective and reliable in the long run.
Have you considered whether maintaining your old van is the best approach? For many, the costs and time involved in replacing or reconditioning an engine might not be worth the hassle.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
