2017 Toyota Land Cruiser 2.8L Diesel · T13 FAX

The 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser exhibits a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-10-11 at 80,468 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior test on 2025-09-25 at 80,421 miles resulted in a failure, though no specific defects were logged. This suggests either a technical anomaly or a minor issue resolved between tests. Subsequent passes in 2024-12-04 (72,711 miles) and earlier years indicate consistent compliance with safety standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,468 miles over nine years aligns with average annual usage of 8,941 miles. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 10-month interval between the 2022-11-25 test (50,769 miles) and the 2023-12-13 test (61,913 miles), during which 11,144 miles were added. A sharper increase of 7,710 miles occurred between 2024-12-04 (72,711 miles) and the 2025-09-25 failure (80,421 miles), reflecting accelerated use. These patterns do not inherently signal neglect but warrant scrutiny for potential wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or brake discs. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the recent failure without recorded defects implies an unexplained issue. Buyers should prioritize a detailed inspection of the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as well as brake components for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out corrosion or fatigue. The absence of advisories on tyres or exhaust emissions suggests routine maintenance, but a pre-purchase check by a qualified mechanic remains essential to confirm long-term reliability.
