Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser offers strong durability potential but requires careful inspection of suspension components. The recent MOT history shows mostly clean results, though recurring anti-roll bar issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
Prioritise a detailed mechanical inspection of the front and rear anti-roll bar systems, focusing on bushings, linkages, and ball joints. Verify service history for suspension repairs and check for rust in the underbody given the 17-year age. Negotiate based on the 27% above-average mileage and the 2025 MOT failure. Be prepared for higher maintenance costs compared to newer models.
Diesel fuel economy averages 25-30 mpg for this model, with £1,200-£1,500 annual fuel costs at 7,000 miles. Tax band depends on CO2 emissions (likely £260-£300 annually). Insurance groups for 2009 Land Cruisers typically range 25-35. Major maintenance (e.g., suspension repairs) could cost £500-£1,000+ every 3-5 years. Estimated annual running cost: £2,200-£2,800.
Focus on the front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers (past failure) and rear anti-roll bar linkage pins (2023 issue). Check for suspension bushing wear, chassis rust, and steering component play. Inspect the engine for oil leaks common in high-mileage diesel engines. Verify that all MOT failures have been properly repaired with documented service records.
The vehicle has a clean MOT record for the past 18 months, but older reports reveal recurring suspension component wear. With 160,126 miles (27% above average for its age), the Land Cruiser's robust reputation may offset some concerns, though high mileage and specific mechanical issues warrant caution.
While Toyota Land Cruisers generally rank highly for reliability, this specific vehicle shows suspension component wear patterns that may require closer monitoring.
