TOYOTA LAND CRUISER2018 · 2.8L Diesel

The Land Cruiser presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 43,302 miles, roughly fourteen months before the current July 2026 assessment, returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome across consecutive years. The solitary failure on 14 September 2022 at 26,544 miles listed no defects and was followed by a pass on 15 September 2022, indicating an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than mechanical deficiency. The upkeep pattern is consistent and shows no worsening faults. Mileage stands at 43,302 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year. The records chart a steady accumulation: 26,544 miles in September 2022, 33,876 by September 2023, 38,678 by September 2024, and 43,302 by May 2025. No rapid jumps or dormant gaps appear in the testing window. Previous owners appear to have exercised basic diligence, submitting the car for timed annual tests and keeping wear low, though the sparse entry count limits deep behavioural insight. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of key components. Low mileage and possible periods of standing can mask degraded suspension bushes, perished coil spring coatings, or superficial corrosion on structural members not yet flagged. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for lip wear and binding, though DVSA testers cited no issues. Exhaust emissions passed within limits but should be re-verified on a warm engine. The immediate pass after the 2022 failure suggests the earlier result carried no lasting defect. Prospective purchasers may treat the Land Cruiser as mechanically sound, but a pre-purchase appraisal of underbody integrity and rubber components remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
