2010 Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0L Diesel · EX10 ADV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend for the chassis and suspension is worsening. The most recent test on September 9, 2025, at 73,366 miles, flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside front coil springs. This is a recurring issue that has persisted since the February 2021 test, indicating that the previous owner failed to replace these components despite multiple warnings over four years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,585 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 25,162 miles in February 2014 to the current 73,366 miles. This low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which correlates with the corrosion issues noted in the suspension components rather than wear from high mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and underbody. The September 2024 test at 69,416 miles highlighted worn rear bushes on the front lower suspension arms and general corrosion of the arms themselves. Because the coil spring corrosion remained an advisory in September 2025, there is a clear pattern of neglecting preventative suspension maintenance. Check the braking system and overall structural integrity for surface rust. The October 2023 test at 65,646 miles noted thin rear brake pads, and the tester has repeatedly mentioned an inability to fully inspect certain areas due to covers and shields since 2022. These obstructions may hide further corrosion on the chassis or suspension mounts that the MOT tester could not access.
