Toyota has launched a Swappage scheme which offers customers up to £2,000 savings on some of its Yaris, Auris and Avensis models.

As the scrappage scheme draws to a close in February, Toyota will run Swappage for orders up until March 31 and registered up to July 31.

It is open to owners of vehicles between seven and 10 years old, registered between 1 March 2000 (W-plate) and 28 February 2003 (52-plate).

As the name Swappage implies, the vehicles traded in will not necessarily be scrapped.

Sales director Richard Balshaw said: “The famous quality, reliability and keen cost-of-ownership of our models have made them a hugely popular choice for motorists taking advantage of Scrappage.

“With Swappage we are committed to giving even more people the chance to acquire a new Toyota at a genuine bargain price.”

Trade-in vehicles have to be DVLA registered, insured and have a current MoT certificate, and the buyer must have been the registered keeper of the trade-in vehicle for the last 12 consecutive months.

Toyota is also offer savings on its British-built Avensis, with a further discount of £500 available on T2 models and £750 on the TR and T4 versions.
