2007 Toyota Workmate VDJ78R - Sand - 16,429km - 4.5L V8 Turbo Diesel, All Wheel Drive, Manual
Overview
The Toyota Workmate represents a unique chapter in Toyota's commercial vehicle lineup, engineered specifically for demanding multi-passenger transport and expedition work. Built on the legendary Land Cruiser platform, the VDJ78R series combines the proven durability of Toyota's 1VD-FTV engine with a purpose-built cabin configuration designed to move groups efficiently across challenging terrain. This 2007 example is an exceptionally low-kilometre example, presenting as a genuine working asset with significant life remaining.
The 4.5-litre V-angle eight-cylinder turbo diesel engine delivers the torque and reliability that defines this generation, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive capability. The three-door configuration with eleven-seat capacity makes this a serious multi-passenger platform, equally at home on remote station work, expedition support, or group transport duties. At just 16,429 kilometres on the odometer, this Workmate has barely been run in, suggesting either light use or careful fleet management.
Sand exterior finish presents cleanly across the panels, with the utilitarian design showing the honest wear consistent with working vehicle use. The interior reflects its commercial purpose, with practical seating throughout and straightforward cabin architecture. This is a vehicle built for function first, and the specification reflects that philosophy entirely.
Condition
The sand-coloured bodywork presents with good overall panel condition and straight lines throughout. Paint shows the expected patina of a working vehicle, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and general weathering consistent with age and light operational use. The three-door configuration remains solid, with clean shut lines and functional hardware. Wheels are fitted with all-terrain tyres showing reasonable tread depth, appropriate for the vehicle's expedition-capable brief.
Interior seating is arranged across the cabin in a practical multi-row configuration, with upholstery showing wear consistent with the vehicle's age and modest kilometre reading. The dashboard and controls are straightforward and functional, with the manual transmission offering direct engagement. Climate control and basic instrumentation are present and operational. The cabin reflects honest working use rather than cosmetic wear, with no obvious structural issues visible.
Engine bay presents cleanly with the iconic 1VD-FTV turbo diesel engine visible, showing good maintenance and no obvious leaks or corrosion. Fluid levels appear appropriate, and the engine bay layout is typical of this generation's robust engineering. The five-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel-drive system are standard specification for this model, proven drivetrains across thousands of similar vehicles in remote and commercial service.
