Deffo walk away, a garage has to tell you if the car has been CAT damaged, best go elsewhere for a Kebab, far too many get rich quick garages appearing. I always get the address of the garage then Google map it and drop the little man in the road outside the garage and look to see what the buildings are like, it can tell you a lot,  here's an example, here's my wife's car what got written off, it had 11mths MOT when this happened, I think it was 3yrs ago now, we were told not to had over the LOG book (V5) when the car was collected and it was back on the road within 4wks with the remainder of the MOT, if any of the members have this car, it was written off.

That's a good point - You need to be careful with the V5C when transferring the car to someone else; When my brothers' old MPV got written off he didn't keep the V5C or take the transfer of ownership bit before the insurance company took it with the rest of the paperwork, and he ended up getting a load of speeding fines!  

Thankfully he could prove the insurance company had taken the car and that he wasn't anywhere near there the offences occurred, so the police eventually cancelled them, but it was a hassle dealing with it all.

It is indeed a good point, never trust the money grubbing types.

My pal  had months of trouble after part ex ing his car, and not sending off the V5 himself, trusting the dealer to do it.

Speeding tickets galore based on his old motor being in places he had never been.

Of course they always say they will do it to ensure that it is done properly, yeah right.

We bought this place when the previous occupant died. They obviously had a car, because we get numerous letters addressed to the previous occupant from councils, TFL, DART charge, debt collectors and have had bailiffs knocking for the last three years. The old car's taxed insured and MOT'd, but the current owner has obviously cottoned on to the fact that as long as they don't re-register it, they can do what they like.

It's a pain in the proverbial but if you are sufficiently patient/perseverant/bloody-minded you can get through to the DVLA, and possibly Police, to de-register the car from your property, and they can also tag the car which will flag it up on the Police ANPR for some extra schadenfreude

Yes., if serviced within the dealers network you can sign up on Toyota website and add the car reg number and vin and then you can check and look at any previous services, any recalls done etc.

After registering with MyToyota you need to verify ownership with the reference number from the new V5, which you can't do until the new copy arrives in the post. 

But, you can go to / call your local dealer, or any Toyota dealer, and they can retrieve the service info for you. They normally see a bit more than what is visible through MyToyota.

The paint code is on the VIN plate, found on the door frame and in the engine bay. This video may help.
