New data shows the most stolen cars in each Victorian LGA. Holden Commodore tops the most areas, with Toyota models ranking high in others.

Holden Commodore

Of the 79 LGAs in Victoria, the Holden Commodore was the most stolen vehicle in 26 of them. The Corolla and HiLux were each the most stolen in nine other LGAs, and the Toyota LandCruiser in seven.

Other most stolen vehicles in a smaller number of LGAs included the Ford Falcon and Toyota RAV4.

The most common vehicles on Victorian roads by registration count are the Toyota Corolla (167,413), Toyota HiLux (163,497), Ford Ranger (146,858), Toyota Camry (120,020), and Holden Commodore (107,051).

The most stolen vehicles in Victoria in the first nine months of 2025 were the Holden Commodore (1035), Toyota Corolla (829), Toyota HiLux (775), Toyota LandCruiser (693), and Toyota RAV4 (541), latest data from Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) shows.

Some vehicles were stolen at disproportionately higher rates than similar vehicles in 2025. There are 11 per cent more HiLuxs on Victoria’s roads than Ford Rangers, however 326 per cent more HiLuxs were stolen than Rangers in the first nine months of 2025.

This equates to approximately 1 in every 211 HiLuxs compared to 1 in every 807 Rangers stolen in the first 9 months of 2025.

Toyota recently announced that it has introduced additional security measures in some new vehicles aimed at thwarting thieves from stealing Toyota vehicles.

Other common vehicles on Victoria's roads have even lower ratios. There are 100,056 Mazda 3s registered in Victoria, and 73 thefts of the vehicle were recorded in the first 9 months of 2025, equating to 1 in every 1371 Mazda 3s being stolen.

However, registration data does not provide a complete representation of the vehicles in Victoria at any given time, as cars from any state may be outside their state of origin.

Additionally, the Victorian Government and Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) state that the data may have errors and state in regards to the data that: “No claim is made as to the accuracy or currency of the content on this site at any time”.

The stolen vehicle data in this article is reflective of the data provided to Drive by Victoria's Crime Statistics Agency. This data is collected by Victoria Police.

However, Drive has identified some inconsistencies in the stolen vehicle data collected by Victoria Police, such as incorrectly named vehicles. These incorrect vehicles include multiple instances of a 'Toyota Lantra' and a 'Mazda Elite' being stolen. Neither Toyota nor Mazda has ever sold a car under these names in Australia. Drive has contacted Victoria Police for clarification regarding these inconsistencies.
