WRITE-OFF STATUS DISCLOSURE

This vehicle is on the Written Off Vehicle Register (WOVR) as a Repairable Write-Off, listed 10 October 2022. It was inspected by Queensland Transport and re-registered 01 August 2025. Some states and territories have varying rules regarding registering inspected written-off vehicles. If this vehicle has not been re-registered since inspection, it may impact registration in your state or territory. Buyers must check with their local transport authority to verify registration eligibility before bidding. Repaired write-offs typically trade at 30-50% discounts to clean-title equivalents due to reduced finance options, limited buyer pool, reduced resale value, and potential insurance complications.



Description

This is a project camper for an experienced buyer who understands write-off risks and can remediate the disclosed condition issues. The platform is a 2008 Hilux KUN26R SR single cab 4x4 with the proven 1KD-FTV 3.0-litre turbo diesel and 5-speed manual transmission. Single cab chassis variants are stronger than dual cab equivalents and preferred for heavy loads like camper bodies. Someone invested significant time and money building out a full camper conversion: overcab sleeping pod extending over the cab roof, slide-out kitchen servery hatch, storage drawers and compartments throughout, side roll-out awning, rear bike rack, and roof-mounted water tank. The vehicle is also fitted with an aftermarket steel bullbar housing a 4x4 power winch, two driving lights, a snorkel on the driver's side, and extended towing mirrors.



However, this vehicle requires work. The vendor discloses a water leak near the bed area inside the canopy, a mold smell in the canopy, panel scratches and marks across the exterior, and surface rust spots on the body and chassis. Water ingress in camper canopies is a serious issue that can lead to structural rot, electrical faults, and ongoing mold problems. Buyers should budget a minimum of $1,000 to $3,000 for remediation work including stripping interior panels, treating affected areas, identifying and sealing the leak source, and potentially replacing compromised materials. The mold smell suggests the issue is active rather than historic. The canopy exterior shows rust staining running down from metal fittings, faded and peeling decals, and UV damage to the fibreglass overcab section. The cab interior shows marks and wear on upholstery, trim, and handles consistent with a 17-year-old work vehicle.



The write-off status adds permanent limitations. Finance options are restricted (many lenders will not approve loans for write-offs), resale value is suppressed (the next buyer faces the same challenges), and some insurers will not cover write-offs or charge higher premiums. Interstate buyers must verify that their home state permits registration of WOVR vehicles. Despite these factors, the platform has genuine value for the right buyer. The 1KD-FTV diesel is a proven workhorse engine known for longevity, the 5-speed manual is the enthusiast choice for reliability and control, and the camper conversion foundation is complete. The winch, bullbar, and snorkel suggest this was set up for serious off-road touring. At the current bid level, this represents a platform buy for someone capable of DIY repairs who values the Hilux chassis and diesel drivetrain.
