Our Verdict
Caution is advised due to high mileage for the vehicle's age. While the model is historically robust, the usage levels necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection before any purchase.
When inspecting this high-mileage Land Cruiser, your priority is the service history. At over 178,000 miles, you must verify that major service items, such as gearbox fluids and differential oils, have been changed according to Toyota's recommendations. Pay close attention to any signs of oil leaks around the engine, which are common on high-mileage diesel units. Negotiate based on the high mileage; while Toyotas are known for longevity, components like bushings, shocks, and turbochargers approach the end of their typical lifespan at this interval. Ask the owner for evidence of heavy-towing history, as this can accelerate wear on the clutch and rear suspension.
The 2755cc diesel engine sits in a relatively high tax and insurance bracket due to the vehicle's size and weight. Expect realistic fuel economy in the range of 25-32 mpg depending on load and driving conditions.
Maintenance costs will be higher than a standard car due to the cost of tyres and specialized parts. Estimate your annual running cost, including fuel and routine servicing, at between £3,500 and £4,500.
The MOT history from 2022 shows a failure at 178,320 miles which was rectified immediately, though the specific defects were not listed in the provided data. You should manually inspect the chassis for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody, as this is a common concern for this era.
Test the suspension over uneven road surfaces for any clunking noises, which would indicate worn ball joints or dampers. Given the mileage, ensure the 4WD system engages smoothly in all modes and check that there is no excessive whining from the transfer case or centre differential.
This 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser features a 2.8L diesel engine and has covered over 178,000 miles as of its last MOT. While the most recent test in October 2022 passed without recorded defects, the mileage is significantly higher than the average for a ten-year-old vehicle. It represents a heavy-use example that has likely seen substantial wear and tear on suspension and drivetrain components.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is generally regarded for its durability, but high-mileage examples require rigorous maintenance to prevent expensive component failure.
