Credov's researched list of the 2 faults the Toyota Supra SZ is known for (2019–2026), 2 of them serious or costly. Each one says what to look for when you check the car, so you can spot it before you buy. Not every car has these faults: they are the ones worth checking on this model.
What to look for: Look for aftermarket intakes, a non-standard exhaust, carbon-fouled tailpipes, crackling on lift-off and a check-engine light.
Why it matters: Tuned cars have often been launched hard and tracked, which loads the gearbox, diff and driveshafts. Left unrepaired this grows into a major repair bill.
What to look for: Listen at the top of the engine for a whistle or howl that changes when the oil filler cap is loosened.
Why it matters: The diaphragm splits, crankcase pressure rises and oil is pushed past gaskets. Some later covers allow just the diaphragm to be replaced; others need a complete valve cover. Left unrepaired this grows into a major repair bill.
