Our Verdict
This 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Invincible D-4D A is a cautiously recommended buy for buyers needing a capable diesel 4x4, provided the brakes and tyres are verified as current. Its MOT history shows a serious 2021 failure but three subsequent clean passes suggest it has been brought back into good order.
When negotiating, use the November 2021 failure as leverage — that test showed front brake discs seriously weakened, pads under 1.5mm, rear pads wearing thin and both rear tyres worn to the legal edge, so confirm with invoices that all were properly replaced rather than patched for the retest four days later. The 2020 MOT noted general underbody corrosion and that the passenger third-row seat(s) were missing; check the structure underneath for progression of corrosion and confirm whether the seats were refitted or removed permanently.
As a 2.8-litre heavy oil Toyota, expect modest diesel economy for a large 4x4, with road tax for a 2016 diesel likely in the higher bands and insurance grouped accordingly for an Invincible spec. Maintenance on Land Cruisers is generally robust but parts and tyres for this size are not cheap, and the noted brake and tyre wear shows consumables can mount up if deferred.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads closely despite the 2025 pass with no defects, because the 2021 failure recorded a seriously weakened front disc and pads less than 1.5mm; verify the current items are sound and not the original neglected parts. Check both rear tyres for even wear given the 2021 edge wear failure on both sides, and confirm the registration plate lamps are present and working.
The vehicle (FY16ULC) is a black 2.8-litre heavy oil Land Cruiser first registered in April 2016, now showing 125,963 miles from its July 2025 MOT. Its history includes a clean 2025, 2023 and 2021 retest pass, but a failed 2021 test for worn tyres, thin brake pads, a seriously weakened front disc and a missing plate lamp. The 2020 pass also noted general underbody corrosion and missing third-row seats, which are worth confirming have been addressed or are acceptable to the buyer.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Toyota Land Cruiser Invincible D-4D A, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual history.
