Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the Land Cruiser is a legendary performer, this specific example shows concerning structural corrosion and high mileage that makes it a high-risk investment for the average buyer.
The primary focus for this vehicle must be a thorough structural inspection. The MOT history repeatedly mentions corrosion on the rear sub-frame, body mounts, and suspension mounting. You must determine if this is surface-level or if the integrity of the chassis is being compromised, as the latter will lead to expensive repairs.
Check the parking brake system meticulously; the history shows multiple failures for inoperative brakes and low efficiency across several years. Additionally, verify the service history for the 4.2L diesel engine—at this mileage, timing belt intervals and cooling system health are critical. Ensure any tape repairs for rust mentioned in earlier years have been addressed with proper metalwork.
