2004 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER4.2L Diesel

The overall roadworthiness of the 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser is currently poor, as the vehicle has failed twice on MOTs within a 3-year period. The most recent test on 2025-06-04 at 210,178 miles was passed, establishing the baseline for the current year, though the failure in 2024-05-23 at 178,363 miles indicates a significant drop-off in performance. This pattern of failure suggests the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance throughout its life, with the first failure occurring just three years prior to the current date. The mileage trend shows rapid accumulation during the 2024 test, reaching 178,365 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's 22-year age and typical usage. The gap between the September 2023 test at 176,138 miles and the 2024 failure points to a lack of regular servicing, as the vehicle has not been serviced for at least three years since the most recent check. The lack of data for the 2025 test at 210,178 miles means the exact mileage at the time of the 2025 test is unknown, leaving the final mileage estimate uncertain. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components, specifically focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions. The history of failing MOTs indicates a high risk of structural damage, such as bent suspension components or seized brake discs, which could compromise the vehicle's ability to handle traffic. The vehicle has not passed the MOT twice in a short time, which is a critical red flag for structural integrity, as the driver has not been able to pass the test again within this period.
