Used Toyota Camry 2019-2022 reliability
Category: Executive car
The Toyota Camry is not the most exciting car to drive, but it's spacious and cheap to run and very well made, too.
What should I look for in a used Toyota Camry saloon?
The Camry is quite a large car and its rear visibility isn’t the strongest, so check the extremities for any scuffs and dents. Check the paperwork carefully to make sure that it hasn’t been used as a minicab; if it has, its mileage is likely to be huge. The cars can wear large mileages well, but there are also plenty of low-mileage examples to choose from, and these might make a better used purchase.
All models come equipped with plenty of safety gear, though, including automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control. The Camry has yet to be crash tested by Euro NCAP, but we can get a good idea of how it'll perform by looking at the Lexus ES. It is very similar to the Camry and gets five stars, with very impressive scores in each of the categories.
What are the most common problems with a used Toyota Camry saloon?
