2011 Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0L Diesel · R6 TDT

The most recent MOT on 2023-10-13 recorded a minor exhaust leak in the main exhaust box, classified as a non-urgent defect. This suggests potential corrosion or damage to the exhaust system, which could worsen over time if not addressed. The vehicle’s mileage at this test was 46,703 miles, consistent with its age of 15 years. A recurring pattern of minor issues emerges in the MOT history. In 2022-05-02, rear tyres showed cracking on the outer edges, a sign of aging or uneven wear. A more serious failure in 2021-01-30 involved offside rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm, which is below the legal limit and poses a safety risk. These defects were not repeated in subsequent tests, but the 2023 exhaust issue indicates ongoing maintenance needs. The trend of defects appears mixed. While the 2021 brake pad failure was resolved by 2023, the 2022 tyre and 2023 exhaust issues suggest intermittent wear or environmental factors. No major safety-critical faults have been recorded in the last three MOTs, but the presence of repeated minor defects implies the vehicle may require regular inspection.
