2007 Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0L Diesel · AF57 GSY

The Toyota Land Cruiser presented a roadworthy status at its latest MOT on 11 October 2022, tested at 142,478 miles with no defects or advisories logged, and the maintenance trajectory across the supplied records is stable. In the August 2019 test at 117,470 miles the vehicle passed clean. The August 2021 test at 133,715 miles and the October 2022 test repeated that result. A single anomaly appears on 31 July 2020 when the tester issued a failure at 123,592 miles yet recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage; this points to an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation tracks typical yearly use for a nineteen year old 4x4. The record shows 117,470 miles in August 2019, rising to 123,592 by July 2020, then 133,715 in August 2021 and 142,478 in October 2022. That equates to roughly six to ten thousand miles per intervening period, with no sudden jumps or prolonged dormancy inside the data window. The supplied history is sparse, offering only five entries across four years, and leaves a near four year gap to the current date of 21 July 2026, meaning the vehicle has since run without a recorded test. Given the absence of flagged issues, a buyer must still treat the chassis and running gear as suspect from age alone. The previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, yet no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion were ever noted, which does not confirm those components are sound. A physical inspection should probe for perished suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers and rust perforation on load bearing members such as sills and outriggers. The same day fail and pass in 2020 suggests the keeper was willing to act promptly on procedural matters, but the long silence since 2022 demands a fresh mechanical appraisal before purchase.
