Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Landcruiser offers strong durability potential but requires careful inspection of suspension and corrosion issues. The recent MOTs are clean, but past failures highlight maintenance risks.
Prioritise a full suspension inspection, focusing on shock absorbers, coil springs, and brake pads, which showed repeated corrosion and wear in 2023. Check for consistent service records to verify maintenance of the 2.98L diesel engine. Negotiate based on the 2023 MOT failures and corrosion findings. Be cautious of potential rust in UK climate conditions, particularly under the chassis. Verify that all suspension components have been replaced or repaired since 2023.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.98L engine is moderate, averaging 30-35 mpg. As a 2009 model, it falls in UK tax band 'L' (£140/year for 2026-2027). Insurance group is likely high due to the Landcruiser's value and size. Maintenance costs may rise from 2024 onwards due to suspension component replacement. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, tax, and basic servicing.
Inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, particularly around the 2024 MOT-reported areas. Check suspension components (shock absorbers, coil springs, brake pads) for signs of wear or replacement. Examine tyres for cracking, as noted in 2023 MOTs. Verify that fuel pipes and brake systems show no leaks or damage. Test the suspension for proper damping and oil leaks, which were previously recorded. Review service history for any repairs related to the 2023 MOT failures.
The vehicle has a mostly clean recent MOT history (2025-2026) with no defects, though 2023 MOTs revealed significant suspension and corrosion issues. At 120,126 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 17-year-old vehicle, though Landcruisers are generally robust. The blue diesel model benefits from strong residual value but requires scrutiny of its mechanical history.
No aggregate MOT data available for this model, but the Landcruiser brand is generally associated with high reliability and durability in off-road conditions.
