TOYOTA LAND CRUISER2013 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of emerging mechanical wear and deferred attention. While the most recent test on June 8, 2026 at 115,982 miles passed, it revealed a 29% brake imbalance on the offside front. This represents a significant regression from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the braking system is now requiring professional intervention to ensure even stopping performance and prevent component overheating. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. Between June 2024 and June 2026, the vehicle covered 20,142 miles, showing a steady rate of use. However, the transition from a clean MOT at 83,305 miles in May 2023 to multiple advisories and defects in subsequent years indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their life. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front braking assembly and suspension geometry. The 2024 advisories regarding worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both the front and rear suggest that the rubber components in the suspension are beginning to perish. This, combined with the uneven tyre wear noted in 2025, points to potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that need immediate verification. The offside front brake caliper should be checked for signs of binding or seized pistons to account for the performance lag recorded in the latest test.
