1999 Toyota Landcruiser 4.2L Diesel · D4 NEO

The 1999 Toyota Landcruiser has a recent MOT history that is mostly concerning. The most recent MOT entry, from 2026-04-15, shows that the vehicle failed due to several serious issues, including corroded suspension arms, brake pipes, and excessive corrosion on the vehicle's structure. These problems suggest a high risk of sudden failure, particularly with the corroded suspension arms and brake pipes. The recurring mechanical pattern in the MOT history is corrosion, which is evident in multiple areas of the vehicle, including the suspension arms, brake pipes, and vehicle structure. This trend has not shown signs of improvement; in fact, it appears to be worsening with each MOT entry. The mileage of 274,576 miles is roughly typical for a vehicle of its age, with approximately 10,169 miles per year. However, the high mileage does not necessarily indicate hard use or periods of under-use, as the vehicle's condition suggests that it has been subject to various forms of wear and tear. Given the recent MOT failure and the recurring pattern of corrosion, it is essential for a buyer to inspect the vehicle in person to assess the extent of the damage and potential costs of repair. The most important checks to make include: - Inspecting the suspension arms and brake pipes for signs of corrosion and damage - Checking the vehicle's structure for excessive corrosion and any signs of structural weakness - Verifying the condition of the brake pads, discs, and other critical components - Looking for any signs of oil leaks or other fluid leaks - Inspecting the steering and suspension systems for any signs of wear or damage - Checking the windscreen and other glass components for any signs of damage or wear.
